PORTS

For each user, select the target port, then press the [Spacebar] to cycle

 

through the choices: F (Full access), V (View Only), or N (No Access).

 

Repeat until all access rights have been set, then press [Esc]. The

 

default is F for all users on all ports.

will not show up on the user's LIST on the Main Screen.

This function defines how the port is to be accessed when multiple

users have logged on. Press [Spacebar] to cycle through the settings,

MODE

as follows:

 

E (Exclusive): The first user to switch to the port has exclusive control

 

over the port. No other users can view the port. The Timeout function

 

does not apply to ports which have this setting.

 

O (Occupy): The first user to switch to the port has control over the

 

port. However, additional users may view the port’s video display. If

 

the user who controls the port is inactive for longer than the time set

 

in the Timeout box, port control is transferred to the next user to

 

move the mouse or strike the keyboard.

 

S (Share): Users simultaneously share control over the port. Input

 

from the users is placed in a queue and executed chronologically.
