Sessions Tab

Overview

The Sessions tab is used to configure specific connections for users who are accessing the network through the IOLAN’s serial port.

Functionality

Users who have successfully logged into the IOLAN (User Service set to DSprompt) can start up to four login sessions on network hosts. These users start sessions through the Easy Port Menu option Sessions.

Multiple sessions can be run simultaneously to the same host or to different hosts. Users can switch between different sessions and also between sessions and the IOLAN using Hotkey commands (see Hotkey Prefix on page 198 for a list of commands).

Users with Admin or Normal privileges can define new sessions and use them to connect to Network hosts; they can even configure them to start automatically on login to the IOLAN. Restricted and Menu users can only start sessions predefined for them in their user configuration.
