CHAPTER 4: CONFIGURATION
4.11.6 SHARED OPERATION
This menu enables shared operation of a CPU Device by two or more CON Devices. A CPU Device can be controlled by only one CON
Device at a time but can be taken over successively by other CON Devices. Control of a CPU Unit by a CON Unit is relinquished
after the expiration of an inactivity timer associated with the controlling CON Device. The mouse or keyboard may also be used
to take control.
To allow a smooth and accurate function of the shared operation, you should use identical mice and keyboards.
They should be connected to the same USB-HID ports of each CON Unit.
The alternative is using USB-HID Ghosting (see Section 5.11).
When taking over control within 10 seconds, any assigned USB 2.0 / 3.0 extenders, if available, will not be switched because
of security and stability aspects.
You have the following options to configure shared operation.
