2.. Web Configuration Interface

The following table describes the columns found in the My Targets section Data Pane.

Server Name

The Server Name column displays all of the Target Servers and Serial devices that are accessible to the logged in

 

account. The Server Name for each port can be changed in the Configuration section of the Web Configuration

 

Interface (see the Switch Configuration section of this manual for details). Double-click on a Target Server to initiate a

 

remote session (See the Remote Session section of this manual for details on managing a remote session).

 

 

Server Status

The Server Status column shows the status of the Target Server connected to the corresponding port; Available, Off,

 

Blocked, Local Exclusive Session, Remote Exclusive Session, Remote Session, or No Communications with Device.

 

Available – Indicates that a computer is connected to the corresponding port, and is available for use. This server

 

 

status is indicated by a Blue port in the graphic of the KVM’s back panel.

 

Off – Indicates that a computer/server is not connected to the corresponding port. This server status is indicated by

 

 

a Black port in the graphic of the KVM’s back panel.

 

Blocked – Indicates that the maximum number of simultaneous users have logged onto the KVM and are accessing

 

 

connected computers. In this situation, the status of all Target Servers is Blocked, except those that are being

 

 

accessed by other accounts. For those ports that are being accessed by other accounts, the status will appear as

 

 

either Remote Session or Remote Exclusive Session. (see the Sharing a Remote Session and Exclusive Session

 

 

sections in this manual for details) Target Servers that are Blocked cannot be accessed. A Blocked server status is

 

 

indicated by a Reddish Brown port in the graphic of the KVM’s back panel.

 

Local Exclusive Session – Indicates that the corresponding port is currently being accessed by a local account.

 

 

This server status is indicated by a Green port in the graphic of the KVM’s back panel.

 

Remote Exclusive Session – Indicates that an account is currently accessing the corresponding port in exclusive

 

 

mode, preventing anyone else from connecting to it. This server status is indicated by an Orange port in the graphic

 

 

of the KVM’s back panel.

 

Remote Session – Indicates that an account is currently accessing the corresponding port in share mode, which allows

 

 

up to 5 users to access a port at the same time. (see the Sharing a Remote Session and Exclusive Session sections in

 

 

this manual for details) This server status is indicated by a Green port in the graphic of the KVM’s back panel.

 

No Communications with Device – Indicates that a computer/server is connected to the corresponding port, but is

 

 

not communicating with the KVM, and is therefore inaccessible. This server status is indicated by a Red port in the

 

 

graphic of the KVM’s back panel.

 

 

User

The User column displays the account that is currently accessing the corresponding port.
