Global user access
Global users access the SC5-4xIP using a viewer and a network/internet link. There are three main
types of connection: a standalone VNC viewer, a VNC Java application used within a standard web
browser, or a console server connection (used to access specialist server devices).

What will I see when I first login to a VNC session?
When you login to a VNC session, the result that you first see will depend on the
status of your username account:
• If you are using your username for the first time then no host will be initially
selected. Click the Hosts button to view a list (see
Host selection
for
details).
• If you have previously been logged in, the last host computer that you
viewed will be shown.
• If your username is already logged in at another location, then the host
computer currently being viewed in the existing session will be shown.
How do multiple users coexist?
Each of the four global users and also the local user can view any host computer
for which they have permission. More than one user can view the same host and
potential conflicts are arbitrated in the following ways:
• If a user views a host in private mode and then switches to a new host, then
the new host will also be viewed in private.
• If a user is viewing a host in shared mode when another user chooses the
same host but in private mode, the first user’s view will be blanked and a
message indicating that another user has taken private access will be given.
• If a user views a host in private mode and another user chooses the same
host, the second user will see a message indicating that the host is already
being viewed in private mode.
• If multiple users are viewing the same host and one switches to another host
then only that user moves to the new host, all other users are unaffected.
