User manual

Chapter 8. Port Access
125
The meanings of the headings at the top of the page are fairly straightforward.
The headings that might need further explanation are as follows:
 The information under the Service heading indicates whether the user has
logged in via a browser connection (HTTPS), or from a local console.
 The information under the Console/IP heading indicates:
 For Console connections: The console’s name followed by a slash, and
then the console port number on the switch it is connected to. For
example: Taipei/1 (where the console’s name is Taipei, and it is
connected to Console port 1).
 For Browser connections: The IP address of the client computer.
Kill Session
Administrator have the option of forcing user logouts by selecting the user(s)
and clicking Kill Session. Clicking the Refresh button clears any selections
you have made (all the checkboxes become unchecked).
Scan
Clicking this menu item starts Scan Mode. See Auto Scanning, page 140 for
details.
Note: Scan is only available with the Console UI.
Broadcast
When Broadcast is Enabled, commands sent from the console are broadcast to
all available computers on the installation.
Note: Broadcast is only available with the Console UI.
This function is particularly useful for operations that need to be performed on
multiple computers, such as performing a system wide shutdown, installing or
upgrading software, etc.
To enable Broadcast, select the Enable radio button, then click Save.
 While Broadcast Mode is in effect, a [b] appears before the Port ID
Display of the port that currently has the console focus.
