Using Privacy mode

If a DS user needs to access a port while excluding all others, Privacy mode is
used. When a port is selected in Privacy mode, no other DS user in the system
may switch to that port. If another DS user initiates a connection to a port in
Privacy mode, that user will receive a message indicating that the port is in
Privacy mode.

To access a target device in Privacy mode:

1. Load the DSView software. This will display the Node Manager and provide
you with a list of target devices that you may access.
2. Highlight the target device that you wish to access and select File - Privacy
Mode Select.
- or -
Right-click on the target device’s name and select Privacy mode.
Sharing or Terminating a Device Session
If at any time the channel to which you are connecting is already in use, you
will receive a notification message and have the choice of two options:
• You may access a port with other users and share the device session.
• If you have Administrator privileges, you may disconnect other users from
a port and terminate the users’ device session.
