An explanation of the configuration fields is given in the table, below:
Field Explanation
Port OS Specifies the operating system that the server on the connected port is
using. Choices are Win, Mac, Sun, and Other. The default is Win.
Access Mode Defines how the port is to be accessed when multiple users have
logged on, as follows:
Exclusive: The first user to switch to the port has exclusive control
over the port. No other users can view the port. The
Timeout
function
does not apply to ports which have this setting.
Occupy: The first user to switch to the port has control over the port.
However, additional users may view the port’s video display. If the
user who controls the port is inactive for longer than the time set in
the
Timeout
box, port control is transferred to the first user to move
the mouse or strike the keyboard.
Share: Users simultaneously share control over the port. Input from
the users is placed in a queue and executed chronologically. .
