After successfully logging into the Dominion KSX Remote Console, the Port Access page opens. This page lists all of the Dominion KSX ports, the connected KVM target servers and Serial target servers, and their status and availability.
The Port Access page provides access to the KVM target servers and Serial target servers connected to the Dominion KSX. KVM target servers and Serial target servers are servers that you want to control through the Dominion KSX; they are connected to the Dominion KSX ports at the back of the device.
Note: For each connection to a KVM target server, a new Virtual KVM Client window is opened. For each connection to a serial port, Raritan Serial Console (RSC) opens. Refer to Raritan Serial Console (RSC) for more information.
To use the Port Access page:
From the Dominion KSX Remote Console, click the Port Access tab to open it. The Port Access page opens.
The target servers are initially sorted by Port Number; you can change the display to sort on any of the columns.
Port Number - Beginning at 1, the total number of ports available for the Dominion KSX. Please Note that ports connected to power strips will not be among those listed.
Port Name - The name of the Dominion KSX port. This is initially set to Dominion-Dominion KSX-Port# but you can change the name to something more descriptive. When you click a Port Name link, the Port Action menu is opened.
Port Type - Either Serial, KVM, VM, Not Available, and Power Strip.
Status - The status is either up or down for KVM ports. The status is always up for serial ports.
Availability - The Availability can be Idle, Connected, Busy, or Unavailable. Availability depends on any active connection to the port.
Click the Port Name of the target server you want to access. The Port Action menu is displayed. Refer to Port Action Menu - KVM and Serial Ports for more information about the menu options available.
Select the desired menu option from the Port Action menu.
