Port Action Menu
1. When you click on a Port Name in the Port Access list, the Port
Action menu is displayed. Please note that only options available for
the selected port are listed in the Port Action menu:
Connect. Creates a new connection to the target server. For the
KX II Remote Console, a new Virtual KVM Client (on page
64)
window is opened. For the KX II Local Console, the display
switches to the target server and switches away from the local
user interface. On the local port, the KX II Local Console
interface must be visible in order to perform the switch.
Note: This option is not available from the KX II Remote Console for
an available port if all connections are busy.
Switch From. Switches from an existing connection to the
selected port (target server). This menu item is available for
every opened connection (up to a maximum of four for units
with 4 remote users; maximum of two for units with 2 remote
users; maximum of 1 for units with 1 remote user); this option is
visible only when one or more Virtual KVM Clients are opened.
Note: This menu item is not available on the KX II Local Console.
Disconnect. Disconnects this port and closes the Virtual KVM
Client window for this target server. This menu item is available
only when the port status is up and connected, or up and busy.
Note: This menu item is not available on the KX II Local Console; the
only way to disconnect from the switched target in the Local Console
is to use the hotkey (see "
Hotkeys" on page 181).
Power On. Powers on the target server through the associated
outlet. This option is visible only when there is one or more
power associations to this target, when the target is off (port
status is down), and when user has permission to operate this
service.
Power Off. Powers off the target server through the associated
outlets. This option is visible only when there is one or more
power associations to this target, when the target power is on
(port status is up), and when user has permission to operate this
service.
