Accessing and Managing Your Devices

The Devices tab displays a list of devices (such as servers, routers and other serially-managed devices) defined in the database. The Group Selector pane appears if two or more device types are defined. Click All Devices or click on a folder to view all devices of a particular type. When you select a server and click the Connect Video task button, the Viewer launches. The Viewer allows you full keyboard, monitor and mouse control over a server.

You can also scan through a customized list of servers by enabling individual servers to appear in the Thumbnail Viewer. This view contains a series of thumbnail frames, each containing a small, scaled, non-interactive version of a server’s screen image. For more information, see Viewing multiple servers using the Scan Mode in this chapter.
