Avocent DSView - Figure 4.3: Alternate Actions Arrow in a Unit Views Window; Table 4.1: Unit Status Icons

Chapter 4: Managing Units 79
An icon appears to the right of the Name column to represent the status of a unit. Figure 4.1
lists and describes the status icons that may appear.
• Action - Type of session that may be initiated. Although an EVR1500 environmental monitor,
generic appliance or target device may have multiple actions that may be performed (for exam-
ple, a target device may be able to open using a browser session and telnet session), only one
action will appear in the Action column. The action that appears is based on the precedence of
the action, which is determined by the software, and whether the action is valid on the unit.
For example, a target device that is only attached to a CCM appliance will not contain a KVM
Session link in a Unit Views window. If a target device has a connection to both a CCM
appliance and a DS1800 digital switch or DSR switch, a KVM Session link will appear.
As shown in Figure 4.3, other available actions may be accessed by clicking the Alternate
Actions arrow to the right of the action with the highest precedence. Clicking on one of the
displayed links will launch the corresponding window type.
