2.2 BOXILLA MANAGED DOMAIN
Boxilla creates a managed domain—a set of devices it manages. Devices that are members of this managed domain can only be
managed by this Boxilla unit. Devices in a managed domain can only connect to other devices in the managed domain. No other
manager or unmanaged device can configure or connect to devices in this managed domain.
A managed domain is composed of:
Boxilla Manager—to centrally create, configure and monitor domain;
Devices—KVM and AV appliances that can communicate with each other. In the current release, Emerald or InvisaPC devices and
DKM KVM Matrix Switches devices are supported;
Users—provides various login rights for different users such as their access rights (what connections they can make, level of control
they have to change configurations);
Connections—defines how a Receiver can connect to a Transmitter or a Virtual Machine with properties such as private or share
mode, USB re-direction enabled or disabled among others;
Alerts—events detected by Boxilla in the managed domain (such as new device added, firmware upgrade, connection made)
and classified as critical, warning or info based on nature of event.
As part of creating a managed domain, the administrator will add Devices to the domain, create Users, define Connections and set
Alerts. The following sections will describe how to do this with Boxilla.
Once a domain has been defined (devices, users, connections, etc.) Boxilla monitors the operation of the domain, reports on
its performance and indicates any security events detected. The monitoring of the system is presented to the user in advanced
graphical and tabular formats. Typically the dashboard is used to get an overview of the domain’s operation. An example of
the Dashboard is shown in Figure 2. From the dashboard the administrator can drill down for more detail on activity, errors and
individual devices.
