User guide

188 DSView Installer/User Guide
When you first launch the Thumbnail Viewer, each frame will be filled with a white background
until a device image is displayed. An indicator light at the bottom of each frame displays the device
status. The default thumbnail size is based on the number of devices in the scan list.
Scan mode has a lower priority than an active connection. If you or another user are connected to a
device, that device will be skipped in the scan sequence, and Scan mode will proceed to the next
device unless the Shared Connections Automatically option has been selected, in which case target
devices may be shared and will not be skipped in the scan sequence. No login error messages will
appear. After your interactive session is closed, the thumbnail will be included in the scan
sequence again.
You may disable a device thumbnail from the scan sequence. The thumbnail image remains, but it
is not updated until it is once again enabled.
When running Scan mode, it is recommended that logging of the following events (enabled by
default) are disabled in the DSView software system:
• Appliance Change Of State
• Appliance Viewer Session Started
• Appliance Viewer Session Stopped
• Viewer Session Started
• Viewer Session Stopped
Each thumbnail scan will result in the logging of the above events. The event log could grow to a
huge size if the events are enabled and Scan mode is left running continuously for a length amount
of time.
