Note: Changes to these selections will effect the selections made in the Access Controls list for User (page 30).
Note: Users with administrative rights automatically have access to all Host Adapters, so access to the user “root” and
any users with administrative privileges cannot be de-selected.
Share Mode
Share mode is only available in Matrix Mode
(page 34)
From the Edit Host Adapter menu, press <
S
> to toggle Share Mode between three possible settings:
None
- only one user can access a host adapter at a time. Other users that try will receive a “Host in use” error message.
Limited-
the first user to connect to the Host Adapter will gain control of the keyboard/mouse for the connected CPU until they
logout, disconnect from that Host Adapter, or change to a different Host Adapter. Other users can connect to the Host Adapter to
view the video, but no keyboard/mouse control will be allowed unless the first user gives up control.
Full
- all users with access permission to that Host Adapter may compete for keyboard/mouse control. A user with control will
retain control until their keyboard/mouse is idle for the specified
sharing timeout
period (page 27). Control is then relinquished
and the first user to use their keyboard/mouse will gain control.

Keyboard/Mouse Access Indicators
A mouse and keyboard icon will appear in the upper left corner of the screen for a couple of seconds to indicate the status of the
keyboard/mouse control.
The icons will appear green when the user has control over the keyboard/mouse,
yellow when the keyboard/mouse control is available to the user (like in Limited and Full Share Modes),
red when the keyboard/mouse control is not available to the user.
