Scanning Ports

The KX II provides a port scanning feature that searches for selected
targets and displays them in a slide show view, allowing you to monitor
up to 32 targets at one time. You can connect to targets or focus on a
specific target as needed. Scans can include standard targets, blade
servers, tiered Dominion devices, and KVM switch ports.
Note: Scanning for tiered devices is not supported by the Multi-Platform
Client (MPC).
When you start a scan, the Port Scan window opens. As each target is
found, it is displayed as a thumbnail in a slide show. The slide show
scrolls through the target thumbnails based on the default interval of 10
seconds or according to the interval you specify. As the scan scrolls
through the targets, the target that is the focus of the slide show displays
in the center of the page. See Scan Settings
You can change the time between the slide show thumbnail rotation, the
thumbnail focus interval, and the page display settings from the Scan
Settings tab of the Virtual KVM Client (VKC), Active KVM Client (AKC)
and Multi-Platform Client (MPC) Tools > Options dialog. See Scan
Settings.
The name of the target is displayed below its thumbnail and in the task
bar at the bottom of the window. If a target is busy, a blank screen is
displayed instead of the target server access page.
The status of each target is indicated by green, yellow and red lights that
are displayed below the target thumbnail and, as the target is the focus
of the rotation, in the task bar. The status lights indicate the following:

Green - the target is up/idle or up/connected

Yellow - the target is down but connected

Red - the target is down/idle, busy, or otherwise not accessible
This feature is available from the Local Port, Virtual KVM Client (VKC),
Active KVM Client (AKC) and Multi-Platform Client (MPC).
Note: MPC uses a different method for initiating a scan than the other
Raritan clients. See Set Scan Group in the KVM and Serial Client
Guide for details. The scan results and scan options differ between the
Remote Console and the Local Console. See
Console (on page 265).
To scan for targets:
1. Click the Set Scan tab on the Port Access page.
2. Select the targets you want to include in the scan by selecting the
checkbox to the left of each target, or select the checkbox at the top
of the target column to select all targets.
