Viewing multiple servers using the Scan Mode

The Video Viewer allows you to simultaneously view multiple servers through the Thumbnail Viewer of the Scan Mode. This view contains a series of thumbnail frames, each containing a small, scaled, non-interactive version of a server’s screen image. The server name displays below each thumbnail as well as the status indicator.

Scanning your servers

Through the Thumbnail Viewer, you can set up a scan sequence of up to 16 servers to monitor your servers. The scan mode moves from one thumbnail image to the next, logging into a server and displaying an updated server image for a user-specified length of time (View Time Per Server), before logging out of that server and moving on to the next thumbnail image. You can also specify a scan delay between thumbnails (Time Between Servers). During the delay, you will see the last thumbnail image for all servers in the scan sequence, though you won’t be logged into any servers.

When you first launch the Thumbnail Viewer, each frame will be filled with a white background until a server image is displayed. An indicator light at the bottom of each frame displays the status of the server. The default thumbnail size is based on the number of servers in the scan list.

Scan mode is a lower priority than an active connection. If you have an interactive session with a server, that server will be skipped in the scan sequence and the scan mode will proceed to the next server. No login error messages will appear. Once the interactive session is closed, then the thumbnail will be included in the scan sequence again. If another user has an active connection to a server, you will still see that thumbnail in your scan list.

To access the Scan Mode:

1.Select the Servers, Sites or Folders tab.
