Basic Operation : Accessing and Managing Your Servers

Accessing and Managing Your Servers
The Servers tab displays a list of servers defined in the database. The Group Selector pane appears displaying a tree view containing all of the unique server types that are defined in the database. The Group Selector pane only appears if two or more server types are defined. You can either click All Servers or click on a folder to view all the servers of a particular type. When you select a server and click the Connect Video task button, the Viewer launches. The Viewer allows you full keyboard, monitor and mouse control over a server.
You can also scan through a customized list of servers by enabling individual servers to appear in the Thumbnail Viewer. This view contains a series of thumbnail frames, each containing a small, scaled, non-interactive version of a server's screen image. For more information, see “Viewing Multiple Servers Using the Scan Mode” on page 35.
