Port Access Page
After successfully logging on to the KX II Remote Console, the Port
Access page appears. By default, the View by Port tab will be displayed
on the Port Access page. This page lists all of the KX II ports, the
connected KVM target servers, and their status and availability. The Port
Access page provides access to the KVM target servers connected to
the KX II. KVM target servers are servers that you want to control
through the KX II device. They are connected to the KX II ports at the
back of the device.
Note: For each connection to a KVM target server, a new Virtual KVM
Client window opens.
If you are using a tiered configuration in which a base KX II device is
used to access multiple other tiered devices, the tiered devices are
viewed on the Port Access page by clicking on the Expand Arrow icon
to the left of the tier device name. See
Tiering (on page 152) for more information on tiering. See
and Enabling Tiering
Also displayed on the Port Access page are blade chassis that have
been configured in the KX II. The blade chassis is displayed in an
expandable, hierarchical list on the Port Access page, with the blade
chassis at the root of the hierarchy and the individual blades labeled and
displayed below the root. Use the Expand Arrow icon next to the root
chassis to display the individual blades.
Note: To view the blade chassis in a hierarchal order, blade-chassis
subtypes must be configured for the blade server chassis.
The View by Group tab displays port groups and can be expanded to
display ports assigned to the port group. The View by Search tab allows
you to search by port name. The search feature supports the use of an
asterisk (*) as a wildcard, and full and partial names.
The port scanning feature is accessed from the Set Scan tab on the Port
Access page. The feature allows you to define a set of targets to be
scanned. Thumbnail views of the scanned targets are also available.
Select a thumbnail to open that target in its Virtual KVM Client window.
To use the Port Access page:
1. From the KX II Remote Console, click the Port Access tab. The Port
Access page opens.
The KVM target servers are initially sorted by Port Number. You can
change the display to sort on any of the columns.

Port Number - Numbered from 1 to the total number of ports
available for the KX II device. Note that ports connected to
power strips will not be among those listed, resulting in gaps in
the Port Number sequence.
