Chapter 6: Video Viewer 80
Right-click on the target device. Select Connect Video from the pop-up menu.
— or —
Select the target device and press Enter.
3. When another user is viewing this target device, a message indicates the target device is
already involved in a KVM session.
If connection sharing is enabled on the KVM switch and your access rights (as compared with
those of the primary user) allow it, you are prompted to either share or preempt the existing
session. If the option is available, select Share.
4. Click OK or Yes. If Automatic Sharing is not enabled, a share request is sent to the primary
user, who can accept the share request as either an active or passive (read-only) session, or
reject the share request entirely.
— or —
Click No to cancel the share request.
If the primary user accepts the share request, or if Automatic Sharing is enabled, a KVM session to
the target device session opens, and the session type icon within the new Video Viewer window
indicates if the session status is active or passive. If the request is rejected, a message indicates the
request was denied. Administrators can try to connect again and preempt the session or connect in
stealth mode, or they can terminate the session entirely from the web interface.
If you are not prompted to connect in share mode, either the KVM switch to which the target device
is connected is not configured to allow digital share mode sessions or it is not a digital KVM
switch.
Using Stealth Mode
Administrators can connect to a target device in stealth mode, viewing the video output of a remote
user undetected. When in stealth mode, the administrator does not have keyboard or mouse control
over the target device.
You cannot use stealth mode when connecting to a target device on a KVM switch.
To enable stealth KVM sessions on a KVM switch:
1. Click the KVM switches button in the Network Access Software.
2. Double-click on a KVM switch in the Unit list.
— or —
Select a KVM switch from the Unit list, then click the Manage KVM switch button.
