Port Action Menu 
When you click a Port Name in the Port Access list, the Port Action menu 
appears. Choose the desired menu option for that port to execute it. Note 
that only currently available options, depending on the port's status and 
availability, will be listed in the Port Action menu: 
• 
Connect - Creates a new connection to the target server. For the 
Dominion KX II Remote Console, a new 
Virtual KVM Client
 (on 
page 51) page appears. For the Dominion KX II Local Console, the 
display switches to the target server and switches away from the 
local user interface. On the local port, the Dominion KX II Local 
Console interface must be visible in order to perform the switch. Hot 
key switching is also available from the local port. 
Note: This option is not available from the Dominion KX II Remote 
Console for an available port if all connections are busy. 
• 
Switch From - Switches from an existing connection to the selected 
port (KVM target server). This menu item is available only for KVM 
targets. This option is visible only when a Virtual KVM Client is 
opened.  
Note: This menu item is not available on the Dominion KX II Local 
Console. 
• 
Disconnect - Disconnects this port and closes the Virtual KVM Client 
page for this target server. This menu item is available only when the 
port status is up and connected, or up and busy. 
Note: This menu item is not available on the Dominion KX II Local 
Console. The only way to disconnect from the switched target in the 
Local Console is to use the hot key. 
• 
Power On - Powers on the target server through the associated 
outlet. This option is visible only when there are one or more power 
associations to the target. 
• 
Power Off - Powers off the target server through the associated 
outlets. This option is visible only when there are one or more power 
associations to the target, when the target power is on (port status is 
up), and when user has permission to operate this service. 
• 
Power Cycle - Power cycles the target server through the associated 
outlets. This option is visible only when there are one or more power 
associations to the target, and when the user has permission to 
operate this service.
