LOGGING OUT OF A REMOTE SITE

Logging out of the local or a remote HVR does not disconnect you from that system. Logging out will return you to the Guest account.

To disconnect from a remote server, refer to Disconnecting from a Remote Site on page 19. You can only log out of one server at a time. If you are logged into multiple servers, you must log out of each server individually. You can also log out of a local or remote HVR by right-clicking its site name in the Site Tree, and then selecting User Log-out from the shortcut menu.

To log out of a local or remote HVR site:

From the DX8100 menu bar, choose File > User Log-out.
