   • Select the authentication method:
   • Normal: You must enter login credentials for the KVM switch.

   • Important: If “Allow LDAP Single Sign-on” is enabled, LDAP users can omit entering credentials in favor of their LDAP credentials being used. Otherwise, user credentials for a KVM/Serial switch are saved on a per-user basis.
   • Other users must enter and save their user credentials for the KVM/Serial switches you added. See User Credentials for Querying Port Information.

Step 4: Using the Port Navigator

• You access the computer devices connected to a device’s ports and your other targets through the Port Navigator window, which contains 3 panels.
• Favorite Access shows the access you have configured as favorites.

2. Per default, only a list of “up” ports is displayed under the selected KVM/Serial switch. For dual-port video, only the primary port must be “up” to be displayed.
   • The numbers in parentheses are the physical port numbers on the KVM/Serial switch.
   • Dual port video shows the primary then secondary physical port numbers in parentheses.
   • Click the desired KVM/Serial port’s icon, and select Open in the new KVM/Serial client or Open in the current KVM client.
