The Information and Configuration Notebook
The Scan function automatically switches among all the ports that are accessible to the currently logged on user at regular intervals, allowing
their activity to be monitored automatically. (See Auto Scanning on page 61 for details)
Panel Array Mode is another way to monitor port activity without having to manually switch between ports. When using this feature, your screen
is divided into a grid of panels, with each panel representing a port on the installation. Only ports that are online and accessible to the user are
displayed. Ports that are offline or not accessible to the user are left blank. (See Panel Array Mode on page 60 for details)
The History page (shown above) provides a record of each time that a port was accessed.
• If there are more entries than there is room on the screen, a scroll bar appears to let you scroll up and down to see the entire record.
• To clear the records and start over, click the Clear History button at the bottom right corner of the page.
Note: You can access a port in the History page by double clicking it, or highlighting it and pressing [Enter].
Filter allows you to control which ports are displayed in the Port
Selection List, as well as which ports get scanned when Auto Scan
Mode is invoked. When you click Filter, the bottom of the panel
changes to look similar to the figure, below:
The larger panel at the right of the Port Access Main Page is
represented as a tabbed notebook:
All – with no other filter options selected, lists all of the ports on the
installation.
• Putting a check mark in the Powered On checkbox lists only the
ports that have their attached devices powered on.
• The text input box and Search button allow you to key in a search
string so that only port names that match what you key in show up
in the list.
Click a tab to open its related page. This section discusses each of the
pages.
