Multi-Session Menu
An administrator can enable or disable the Multi-Session Menu. When enabled, users can access the menu from the web UI,
CLI or the DSView software, and multiple users can connect simultaneously to a serial port. To connect to a port or start a
shared session, the user must have permission to access the port. If more than one session to a serial port is being
established, the console server displays the Multi-Session Menu. If the session being established is the first with the serial
port, a normal session with the target opens. A first-session user can still access the Multi-Session Menu by typing the text
hotkey (Ctrl-Z by default).
To enable the Multi-Session Menu:
1.
From the sidebar of the
Expert
tab, click
Ports-Serial Ports
.
2.
Click the port for which you want to enable the Multi-Session Menu.

The Multi-Session Menu includes options that are dependent on the access rights of the user. If a user does not have rights
to an option, that option is not displayed. For example, Options 0, 2 and 5 from the following table are displayed for a user
who only has permission to open read-only sessions.
