Target

The Target tab lists the servers that may be accessed from your AMX user station and the available
modes for these servers. Servers may be selected in Shared, Private, Scan or Maintain modes. If
you have not logged in successfully to the AMX switching system, the servers connected to the
matrix will not display in the server list. You can access the servers by double-clicking on Matrix
System in the list and then logging in.
Shared
If two or more users need to access the same server, they can share access to it through the AMX
switch. Sharing means that multiple consoles can view a server channel at the same time, but only
one can enter data through the keyboard or mouse at any given moment. When the active console
stops all keyboard and mouse activity, another console can take control of the server.
Private
When you select your server after clicking the Private radio button, no other user station in the
system can switch to your selected server. If another user initiates a channel change to your private
channel, access will be denied. You may take your channel out of Private mode by switching to
another server or reselecting the same server in Shared mode.
Scan
In Scan mode multiple servers may be monitored in sequence. When keyboard or mouse activity is
detected, scanning stops, allowing users to operate an attached device. For more information on
scanning, see Selecting Servers later in this chapter.
