More Channel Information
Active and inactive channels are determined with the power status of the connected MDCIM or MDUTP
cable.
The default color of an active channel is green, but on a dual-user model, an "active" channel may
change its colors to indicate that it is being accessed by the other user.
Active and Inactive Channels
An active channel shows its channel name, while an inactive channel does not show any channel name.
▶
Active channels:
The MCD switch recognizes a channel as being active when it detects that the channel port is connected
to a "powered" MDCIM or MDUTP cable.
A MDCIM or MDUTP cable is powered as long as it receives power via the USB connector. Therefore, it is
always powered when plugged into a server that is turned ON, but may or may not be powered when
the server is turned OFF, which depends on the server's design.
▶
Inactive channels:
The MCD switch recognizes a channel as being inactive when it does not detect the presence of a
powered MDCIM or MDUTP cable, which involves these scenarios:
•
No MDCIM or MDUTP cable is connected to that channel port.
•
•
A MDCIM or MDUTP cable is connected to that channel port, but it is unpowered because the
•
server is turned OFF.
• A MDCIM or MDUTP cable is connected to that channel port, but it is unpowered because its USB •
connector is not plugged into any server.
Channel Colors
Colors of active channels' names on a dual-user model may change. See Dual-User Models (on page 11).
