Table 9. Session States

Session State	Description
Active	A DCAF session is established. The controlling workstation (remote
	library manager console) controls the keyboard and monitors the display
	of the target workstation (library manager). The library manager
	keyboard is locked; the keystrokes and pointing devicecommands
	entered on the library manager are not processed. The library manager
	user can regain control by pressing the hot-key combination to change
	the session state.
Busy	A DCAF session is established. The library manager user pressed the
	hot-key combination and regained control. The remote library manager
	console user must wait until the library manager user puts the DCAF
	session in another state.
Initiating	The remote library manager console is starting a DCAF session with the
	library manager.
Monitor	A DCAF session is established. The remote library manager console
	monitors (watches) the activity of the library manager. The remote library
	manager console user sees the library manager display, but the library
	manager user is in control of the keyboard and pointing deviceinput. The
	library manager user can press the hot-key combination to change the
	session state.
Suspend	The DCAF session in progress is suspended (stopped temporarily). The
	remote library manager console does not monitor the library manager
	and does not have control of the keyboard and pointing device. Either
	console user can resume the session.
Terminate	The DCAF session is terminating (ending).
