Chapter 6. Port Access

KVM Devices and Ports – Connections Page

For KVM Over the NET™ switches, the Connections page displays port status information at the device level, and port connection configuration options at the port level.

Device Level

When a KVM Over the NET™ switch is selected in the Sidebar, the Connections page displays a list of ports for the device that the user is authorized to access or view.

The following attributes are listed for each device:

ŠPort Number – the port’s number on the switch.

ŠPort Name – if a name has been assigned to a port it displays here.

ŠDevice Name – if a name has been assigned to the switch it displays here.

ŠStatus – the current status of the port – online, or offline.

Note: The sort order of the information displayed can be changed by clicking the column headings.

You can access a port from the main panel either by double clicking anywhere on its line entry, or selecting it anywhere on its line entry and clicking Connect at the bottom right of the page.
