KVM Over the NET™ User Manual
The Sidebar
All KVM switches, PON devices, and Blade Servers – including their ports and outlets – are listed in a tree structure in the Sidebar at the left of the screen:
The Sidebar Tree Structure
The characteristics of the Sidebar tree structure are the following:
Users are only allowed to see the devices and ports/outlets that they have access permission for.
Ports/outlets and child devices can be nested under their parent devices.
Click the + in front of a device to expand the tree and see the ports/outlets nested underneath it. Click the - to collapse the tree and hide the nested ports/outlets.
A port’s/outlet’s ID number is displayed in brackets next to its icon. The ports/outlets but can also be named (see Port/Outlet Naming, page 89, for details).
Switches and ports that are on line have their monitor screen icons in Green; the monitor screens are Gray for devices and ports that are offline.
