Chapter 6. Windows Client Port Operation

Multiuser Operation

The KL9108 / KL9116 supports multiuser operation. Up to 32 users can log in at the same time. When multiple users simultaneously access the KL9108 / KL9116 switch from remote computers, the rules of precedence that apply are shown in the following table:

Operation

Rule

 

 

General

Once a user invokes the OSD, no other user can invoke it until

 

the original user closes it.

 

 

Auto Scan Mode

If a user has invoked Auto Scan Mode (see page 90), but the

 

OSD has not been invoked, another user can interrupt Auto

 

Scan Mode by invoking the OSD.

 

 

Panel Array Mode

Š When a user has invoked Panel Array Mode (see page 87),

 

all successive users automatically enter Panel Array Mode.

 

Panel Array Mode continues until the original user stops it.

 

(Administrators can override Panel Array Mode.)

 

Š Only the user who starts Panel Array Mode can use the Skip

 

Mode (see page 91) function.

 

Š Only the user who starts Panel Array Mode can switch ports.

 

Other users automatically switch to the ports that the original

 

user selects. However, if an individual user does not have

 

access rights to the port that the original user switches to,

 

the user will not be able to view that port.

 

Š Individual users can increase or decrease the number of

 

panels they wish to view in Panel Array Mode; however, the

 

picture quality may decrease as the number of panels

 

decreases.

 

 

Note: We recommend that the user who starts Panel Array Mode set it to display at least four panels; otherwise, it is possible that other users may receive only part of the picture.
