Chapter 3: Working with Target Servers

Scanning Ports
The KX II provides the port scanning feature to search for selected
targets, and display them in a slide show view, allowing you to monitor
up to 32 targets at one time.
You can connect to targets or focus on a specific target as needed.
Scans can include standard targets, blade servers, tiered Dominion
devices, and KVM switch ports.
Configure scan settings from either the Virtual KVM Client (VKC) or
Active KVM Client (AKC).
Note: 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.
Dual video port groups are supported by the KX II 2.5.0 (and later).
Note: Scanning for tiered devices is not supported by the Multi-Platform
Client (MPC).
When you start a scan, the Port Scan window opens.
As each target is found, it is displayed as a thumbnail in a slide show.
The slide show scrolls through the target thumbnails based on the
default interval of 10 seconds or according to the interval you specify.
As the scan scrolls through the targets, the target that is the focus of the
slide show displays in the center of the page.
The name of the target is displayed below its thumbnail and in the task
bar at the bottom of the window.
If a target is busy, a blank screen is displayed instead of the target server
access page.
The status of each target is indicated by green, yellow and red lights that
are displayed below the target thumbnail and, as the target is the focus
of the rotation, in the task bar.
Lights for each target are gray until they are the focus of the slide show.
The status lights indicate the following:
Green - the target is up/idle or up/connected
Yellow - the target is down but connected
Red - the target is down/idle, busy, or otherwise not accessible
This feature is available from the Local Port, Virtual KVM Client (VKC),
Active KVM Client (AKC) and Multi-Platform Client (MPC).
