Chapter 3: Multi-Platform Client and Raritan Remote Client

Set Scan Group

a port scanning feature that searches for selected targets and displays

them in a slide show view, allowing you to monitor up to 32 targets at

one time. You can connect to targets or focus on a specific target as

needed. Scans can include standard targets, blade servers, tiered

Dominion devices, and KVM switch ports.

Note: Scanning for tiered devices is not supported by the Multi-Platform

Client (MPC).

When you start a scan, the Port Scan window opens. As each target is

found, it is displayed as a thumbnail in a slide show. The slide show

scrolls through the target thumbnails based on the default interval of 10

seconds or according to the interval you specify. As the scan scrolls

through the targets, the target that is the focus of the slide show displays

in the center of the page. See Scan Settings (on page 31)

You can change the time between the slide show thumbnail rotation, the

thumbnail focus interval, and the page display settings from the Scan

Settings tab of the Virtual KVM Client (VKC), Active KVM Client (AKC)

and Multi-Platform Client (MPC) Tools > Options dialog. See Scan

Settings (on page 31).

The name of the target is displayed below its thumbnail and in the task

bar at the bottom of the window. If a target is busy, a blank screen is

displayed instead of the target server access page.

The status of each target is indicated by green, yellow and red lights that

are displayed below the target thumbnail and, as the target is the focus

of the rotation, in the task bar. The status lights indicate the following:

 Green - the target is up/idle or up/connected

 Yellow - the target is down but connected

 Red - the target is down/idle, busy, or otherwise not accessible

Note: This feature is only supported by the KX II.

2. From the list of targets in the Navigator, use Ctrl + click select each

target you want to include in the scan, or use Shift + click to select a

next to the selected targets and select Start Scan. The targets

detected in the scan are displayed.
