KVM Switch KVM2132P, KVM2116P, KVM1116P User Manual 38

The Sidebar

All KVM switches, PDU devices, and Blade Servers including, their ports and outlets, are listed in a tree

structure in the Sidebar at the left of the screen.

The Sidebar Tree Structure

• Users only see the devices, ports, and outlets for which they have access permission.

• Ports, outlets, and child devices can be nested under their parent devices.

Click the + in front of a device to expand the tree and see the ports/outlets nested underneath it.

Click the - to collapse the tree and hide the nested ports/outlets.

• ID numbers of the ports and outlets are displayed in brackets next to the icon. Ports and outlets

can also be named.

• Monitor screen icons are Green for on line switches and ports and Gray when offline.

• Outlet Icons are Amber when On and Gray when Off.

• To access and operate a port, double click its icon.

Note: 1. In the Browser page, you can open as many port viewers as there are ports, but the

number of ports that you see depends on the number of buses that the switch supports.

2. In the AP GUI version only one port at a time can be accessed. To see two different ports,

you have to log in two separate times.

3. PDU devices and Blade Servers do not appear in the Sidebar, (even if they are configured

on the switch) if KVM Access Management is used.

Sidebar Utilities

In the AP GUI Port Access Connections page, right click an item in the Sidebar to open the options list.

Note: The items that appear in the options list depend on user permissions, or if you logged

in remotely or from a Local Console.
