Features
Details about the features of the GCM16 and GCM32 are as follows:
Number of local concurrent users:
The GCM16 and GCM32 console switches enable one or two local user to access any attached servers. If
the target device is currently in use, the user attempting to gain access will be given an opportunity to
force a connection to the device if their preemption level is equal to or higher than the current user’s level.
If the user attempting to gain access has a lower preemption level, the active user will be asked if they wish
to give up control to the new user (a timeout is also configurable).
