2. Web Configuration Interface

The following table describes the columns found in the 

My Targets 

section 

Data Pane

.

Server Name

The 

Server Name

 column displays all of the Target Servers and Serial devices that are accessible to the logged in 

account. The 

Server Name

 for each port can be changed in the 

Configuration

 section of the Web Configuration 

Interface (see the 

Switch Configuration

 section of this manual for details). Double-click on a Target Server to initiate a 

remote session (See the 

Remote Session

 section of this manual for details on managing a remote session).

Server Status

The 

Server Status 

column shows the status of the Target Server connected to the corresponding port; 

Available, Off, 

Blocked, Local Exclusive Session, Remote Exclusive Session, Remote Session, 

or 

No Communications with Device. 

• 

Available – 

Indicates that a computer is connected to the corresponding port, and is available for use. This server 

status is indicated by a Blue port in the graphic of the KVM’s back panel.

• 

Off – 

Indicates that a computer/server is not connected to the corresponding port. This server status is indicated by 

a Black port in the graphic of the KVM’s back panel.

• 

Blocked – 

Indicates that the maximum number of simultaneous users have logged onto the KVM and are accessing 

connected computers. In this situation, the status of all Target Servers is 

Blocked

, except those that are being 

accessed by other accounts. For those ports that are being accessed by other accounts, the status will appear as 

either 

Remote Session 

or 

Remote Exclusive Session

. (see the 

Sharing a Remote Session 

and 

Exclusive Session 

sections in this manual for details) Target Servers that are 

Blocked 

cannot be accessed. A 

Blocked

 server status is 

indicated by a Reddish Brown port in the graphic of the KVM’s back panel.

• 

Local Exclusive Session – 

Indicates that the corresponding port is currently being accessed by a local account. 

This server status is indicated by a Green port in the graphic of the KVM’s back panel.

• 

Remote Exclusive Session – 

Indicates that an account is currently accessing the corresponding port in

 exclusive 

mode, preventing anyone else from connecting to it. This server status is indicated by an Orange port in the graphic 

of the KVM’s back panel.

• 

Remote Session – 

Indicates that an account is currently accessing the corresponding port in 

share 

mode, which allows 

up to 5 users to access a port at the same time. (see the 

Sharing a Remote Session 

and 

Exclusive Session 

sections in 

this manual for details) This server status is indicated by a Green port in the graphic of the KVM’s back panel.

• 

No Communications with Device – 

Indicates that a computer/server is connected to the corresponding port, but is 

not communicating with the KVM, and is therefore inaccessible. This server status is indicated by a Red port in the 

graphic of the KVM’s back panel.

User

The 

User

 column displays the account that is currently accessing the corresponding port.

There is an untitled column to the right of the User column. This column will contain a colored icon that indicates which type 

of SIU is connected. Green indicates that a B078-101-USB2 is connected; Light Blue indicates that a B078-101-USB-1 is 
connected; Orange indicates that a 0SU51078, 0SU51079, B078-101-PS2, or B078-101-USB is connected.

SIU (Server

This column includes a description of the connected SIU. The B078-101-USB2 is described as a FVM SIU, the B078-

101-USB-1 as a VM SIU, and the 0SU51078, 0SU51079, B078-101-PS2, and B078-101-USB as a SIU.
