L300/L230/L130 User Manual
L300 attempts to connect to the second server in the list (i.e., the device does an “auto rollover” to the next server). If after 5 seconds, the L300 does not successfully connect to the second server in the list, the device attempts to connect to the third device in the list, etc. When the L300 reaches the end of the list, it starts again at the beginning of the “server group” and continues until a connection is made or until the L300 device is reset. (To allow for unusual requirements or server weighting algorithms, an individual server name or IP address may exist in multiple places in the list.)
Whenever an L300 disconnects from a session, autoconnect (if set) begins at the top of the connection cycle. The device does not keep track of the last server to which it successfully connected. Issuing a device reset command from the admin console will also cause the autoconnect processing to restart at the top of the cycle.
In the future as management features are added to the vSpace console, groups will be extended from a local device implementation to allow administrators to create and use “server groups” that are global in scope and management from the host vSpace console, until then groups must be managed on each device.

For example, launching Internet Explorer on login would require “iexplore.exe” in the Program field and “C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer” in the Folder field.
