Configuring the Switch and Share modes

The Switch window can be used to set one of the following switch modes:

•Preemptive (default setting)—Enables any user to select any server at any time; a request from another user disconnects the current user without warning.

•Cooperative—Maintains the current user connection; the current user will not be disconnected if another user requests connection.

You can also enable or disable Share mode and specify a time-out period from the Switch window. Share mode enables two users to access a primary server.
