Auto-Login
In Auto-Login Mode, turning on the InvisaPC Receiver automatically causes it to login as a pre-
defined user. The user is presented with the available connections that can be made to remote
workstations/virtual desktops.
Auto-Connect
In Auto-Connect Mode, when a user logs-in to the InvisaPC Receiver, it causes an automatic
connection to their allocated workstation or virtual desktop (this connection is pre-defined and
triggered by a successful login).
Private Connection
In Private Mode, when a user makes a connection to a target workstation/virtual desktop, this
connection is only accessible by this user. All other users will receive a “busy” message if they
attempt to connect to the same workstation/virtual machine. This is the default mode for
connections.
NOTE
: In Release 1, private connections are not supported, but will not affect anything because sharing is not
supported.
Share Mode
In Share Mode, multiple users can connect to the audio and video of a target computer over the
network and arbitrate for control of the keyboard and mouse of that computer. Non-keyboard and
mice devices are not supported on shared connections.
NOTE
: Share mode is not supported on V1.x version of InvisaPC firmware.
These various modes can be mixed on a particular Receiver and connection. For example Auto-
Login and Auto-Connect can be combined to enable an InvisaPC receiver to automatically connect
to a specific target workstation/virtual desktop when power is applied without any user-intervention
that might be required for Digital Signage type of deployments.
In Figure 1, a typical deployment is shown in what to is called
basic extender
. In this deployment,
only one Transmitter and Receiver are used to allow remote access to a single workstation.
