MULTISTATION PC INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL
User Operation
When the shared computer is first booted, the boot-up sequence can
be seen on the monitor connected to the computer. The monitor
connected to the remote user module will remain blank until the
computer fully boots up and the login screen displays. After the
computer fully boots up, the monitor connected to the user module will
change from a blank screen to a blue screen and then to its login
screen. If the monitor remains blank or the boot-up sequence is visible
only on the monitor connected to the remote user module, refer to
troubleshooting section to correct the problem. Due to the many
differences in motherboards, Bios, and system configurations, some
configuration of the MultiStation PC’s PCI card or the system BIOS may
be needed to correct the video problem.
The MultiStation PC, once installed and configured if needed, allows
two users to independently use a single computer. Each user can login
to Windows XP or 2000 with their custom desktop, screen saver, and
Icons. They can run the same application or a different one
simultaneously with no apparent performance degradation.
With the computer connected to a network, each user can connect to
the network using a common network card and access network servers
and printers. Each user can connect to the Internet using a common
modem, phone or DSL line and one internet connection.
