Accessing and Managing Your Devices
The Devices tab displays a list of devices (such as servers, routers and other
serially-managed devices) defined in the database. The Group Selector pane
appears if two or more device types are defined. Click All Devices or click on a
folder to view all devices of a particular type. When you select a server and click
the Connect Video task button, the Viewer launches. The Viewer allows you full
keyboard, monitor and mouse control over a server.
You can also scan through a customized list of servers by enabling individual
servers to appear in the Thumbnail Viewer. This view contains a series of
thumbnail frames, each containing a small, scaled, non-interactive version of a
server’s screen image. For more information, see Viewing multiple servers
using the Scan Mode in this chapter.
