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 and 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. See Creating a Dual Video Port Group for information on the dual port video group feature. See Enabling Direct Port Access via URL for information on direct port access.
