Appendix B: Dual Video Port Groups

Direct Port Access and Dual Port Video Groups
Direct port access allows users to bypass having to use the device's
Login dialog and Port Access page.
This feature also provides the ability to enter a username and password
directly to proceed to the target, if the username and password is not
contained in the URL.
If you are accessing a target that is part of a dual port video group, direct
port access uses the primary port to launch both the primary and
secondary ports.
Direct port connections to the secondary port are denied, and usual
permission rules apply.
For information on the dual port video group feature, see Creating a
Dual Video Port Group (on page 218).
For information on direct port access, see Enabling Direct Port Access
via URL.
Dual Port Video Groups Displayed on the Ports Page
Note: The dual video primary port is defined when the port group is
created.
Note: Two KVM channels are required to remotely connect to the dual
video port group by clicking primary port. If two channels are not
available, the Connect link is not displayed.
For dual video port groups, the primary port is included in a port scan,
but the secondary port is not included when connecting from a remote
client. Both ports can be included in the scan from the Local Port.
See Working with Target Servers (on page 32) for more information on
what is displayed on the Ports page, and see Scanning Ports (on page
47) for information on performing scans.
