Direct Port Access URL Syntax for the Active KVM Client (AKC)

If you are using the Active KVM Client (AKC) and direct port access, use:

• https://IPaddress/dpa.asp?username=username&password=password&port=port number&client=akc

  Or

• https://IPaddress/dpa.asp?username=username&password=password&port=port name&client=akc

For blade chassis, the port must be designated by both the port number or name, and slot number.

• https://IPaddress/dpa.asp?username=username&password=password&port=port number-slot number=akc

  For example, port number-slot number is 1-2 where the blade chassis is connected to port 1, slot 2

• https://IPaddress/dpa.asp?username=username&password=password&port=port name-slot number=akc

  For example, port name-slot number is Port1-2 where the blade chassis is connected to port 1, slot 2

Username and password are optional.

If username and password are not provided, a login dialog will be displayed and, after being authenticated, the user will be directly connected to the target.

The port may be a port number or port name.

If you are using a port name, the name must be unique or an error is reported.

If the port is omitted altogether, an error is reported.

Client=akc is optional unless you are using the AKC client.

If client=akc is not included, the Virtual KVM Client (VKC) is used as the client.

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.
