The Selection Menu displays up to eight channels.
•
The Ch. ID column indicates the physical channel to which each computer is
connected.
•
The Name column lists the computer name.
•
The Stat column shows each channel's security class on the left side of the
column, and the channel-specific scan rate—in seconds—on the right side of the
column. (See Channel Configuration on page 15 for instructions to
change
names, security classes and scan rates.)
3. The highlight bar is used to select a channel for connection to the local user console.
Each channel’s availability is visually indicated by the following text colors:
•
Black—no computer connected or computer is powered down.
•
Green—a channel is active and available.
•
Red—another user is connected. The highlight bar will skip this channel.
•
Yellow—unavailable, another user is connected, but the video is available to
view.
•
Purple—connected to another SMX device, rather than a computer.
•
Cyan—additional path (channel) connected to a second-tier
SMX
. The highlight
bar will skip this channel.
•
White—current status unknown.
#
If the security class of a channel is shown in red, the channel cannot be selected
due to security restrictions

A small red triangle will point to the name of the computer — if any — which you
have currently selected.
