Setting the connection mode
Connections between the user and target devices can be preemptive or cooperative with the
other user.
A preemptive connection between the user and a target device is disconnected, without warning, if
the other user selects the same target device.
A cooperative connection enables the user to maintain the connection to a target device if another
user selects the same target device. In this mode, two users can be simultaneously connected to the
target device if
Share Enable
is selected. When the second user connects to the target device, the
first user still has keyboard and mouse control over the target device. When the first user ceases
providing keyboard and mouse input to the target device, the appliance will wait the number of
seconds specified in the
Timeout Seconds
field before transferring keyboard and mouse control to
the second user.

field,
type the number of seconds that the appliance will wait for input from the first connected user
before allowing input from the second user.
