Terminating a target device sessionIf you have Administrator privileges and the target device you are attempt-
ing to access is currently being viewed by a local DS user, DSView allows you
to disconnect the local DS user so that you may access that target device. To
terminate a local DS user’s session, you must first specify the ability to do so in
DSAdmin’s System Settings dialog box.
When you choose to terminate a local DS user’s connection, a message box
will display prompting you to confirm the termination. The local DS user will
receive a notification message when you click Yes in the message box. Control
of the port is then transferred to you.
Administrators may also disconnect a DS user by selecting the port that the
user is accessing and choosing File - Disconnect, or by right-clicking on the
port and selecting Disconnect in the DSAuth window.
NOTE: You can not pr eempt a local user that i s in Broadcast mode. See the DS R Installer/User
Guide for additional information.
To specify settings to terminate the local DS user session:
1. Select Options - System Settings in the DSAdmin window. The System
Settings dialog box will appear.
2. Select the DSR Local Port Session Termination Enable checkbox in
the area.
3. Click OK to save your settings and close the dialog box.
