Siemens KVM series 3-1621 manual Symbol Description

Basic operations

The Main window lists the target devices in the switching system. You can order the list by target device names, EID numbers, or port numbers by clicking the Name, EID, or Port button.

The Port column indicates the ARI port to which each target device is connected. If an earlier appliance model is connected to a KVM s3-1621 or KVM s3-1641 appliance, the ARI port number is shown first, followed by the number of the appliance port to which the target device is connected. For example, in Figure 8 on page 17, the target device named Acton is connected to ARI port 06 and the appliance to port 01.

The status of each target device in the switching system is indicated by one or more status symbols in the right column of the screen. Table 2 describes the status symbols.
