units by adding and naming folders. Other groupings are also available, based on
custom fields that you can assign to units.
From the KVM s3 Client Explorer, you can select a target device from a Unit list, then
click an icon to open a session to it. You can also select an appliance, then click an icon
to start management and control functions.
1.5.2 Video Viewer
Control the keyboard, monitor, and mouse functions of individual target devices with the
Video Viewer. You can use predefined macros and choose which macro group is
displayed on the Video Viewer Macros menu. You can open the Video Viewer for target
devices on the Fujitsu Siemens KVM appliances.
1.5.3 Appliance Management Panels (AMPs)
Each AMP is implemented as a network management module that supports a target
device type, such as keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM). An AMP contains a tabbed
pane; each tab represents a top-level function category for the appliance. For example,
the AMP tabs can be Settings, Status, and Tools. The number and content of tabbed
panes differs for each appliance type and version.
1.6 Operating features
The “Keyboard and mouse shortcuts” section in the Appendix lists the Explorer
navigation shortcuts. Other components also support full keyboard navigation in
addition to mouse operations.
1.6.1 target device naming
If a name conflict occurs during background operations between the appliance and
target device, the software generates a unique name for each target device in the
database.
During background operations (such as an automated operation that adds or modifies a
name or connection), if a name conflict occurs, the conflicting name is automatically
made unique. This is done by appending a tilde (~) followed by an optional set of digits.
The digits are added in cases where adding the tilde alone does not make the name
unique. The digits start with a value of one and are incremented until a unique name is
created.
During operations, if you or another user specifies a non-unique name, a message
informs the corresponding user that a unique name is required.
1.6.1.1 target device name displays
When an appliance is added, the target device names retrieved from the appliance are
stored in the software database. The operator can then rename a target device in the
Explorer. The new name is stored in the database and used in various component
screens. This new target device name is not communicated to the appliance.
You can change target device names on both the appliance and the database by using
the Modify Device Name window in the AMP. For more information see “Modifying
target device names” on page 88.
