SESSION CLONING
The MT display is capable of presenting multiple sessions originating from multiple and disparate
hosts. This feature lets mobile operators switch between applications on different hosts or switch
between different sessions originating from the same host or any combination of both with minimal
disruption to the user’s work flow. Switching between sessions requires that the user simply touch the
desired session window in order to activate that session.
The number of sessions supported per terminal is limited to eight. All eight session windows plus the
Presentation Manager and Radio Manager windows can be displayed simultaneously on the touch
screen by tiling the windows. However, it is recommended that any tiled display be limited to four
windows or less; the visibility and usefulness of these windows degrades as their relative size
diminishes.
Once the multi-session capability has been activated and configured, the terminal display can be frozen
for the desired look by using the password protection utility in the Presentation Manager. Upon power
up, users will see only the authorized pre-configured screens.
