If another user is already viewing this target device, a message indicates that the
target device is already involved in a KVM session.
If connection sharing and stealth connections are enabled on the appliance and
your access rights (as compared with those of the primary user) allow it, you are
prompted to either share or preempt the existing session. If the option is available,
select Stealth.
Complete one of the following steps:
•Click OK or Yes.
-or-
•Click No to cancel the stealth request.
A KVM session to the target device opens, and the administrator can view all video
output of the target device while remaining undetected.
If Stealth is not listed as an option, one of the following conditions exists:
• The appliance to which the target device is connected is not configured to allow
Stealth Connections.

• You do not have the necessary access rights (Stealth permissions follow
Preemption permissions).

4.7 Using scan mode
You can view multiple target devices using the scan mode Thumbnail Viewer. This view
contains a series of thumbnail frames, each containing a small, scaled, non-interactive
version of a target device screen image. The target device name and status indicator
are visible below each thumbnail as follows:
• A green circle icon indicates that a target device is currently being scanned.
• A red X icon indicates that the last scan of the target device failed. The scan can
have failed due to a credential or path failure (for example, the target device path on
the appliance was not available). The tool tip for the icon indicates the reason for
the failure.
You can set up a scan sequence of up to 16 target devices to monitor. The scan mode
moves from one thumbnail image to the next, logging into a target device and displaying
an updated target device image for a specified length of time (View Time Per Device),
before logging out of that target device and moving on to the next thumbnail image. You
can also specify a scan delay between thumbnails (Time Between Devices). During the
delay, you can see the last thumbnail image for all target devices in the scan sequence,
but you won’t be logged into any target devices.
