the current and available versions are the same. In some cases, you can

downgrade the SIP to an older, compatible version.)

displayed below the

Controlling User Status

You may view and disconnect the current active user connections using the

Status tab in the on-board web interface. You can view the session type, the

server name, or SIP to which they are connected and their system address. In

addition to disconnecting a user session, the on-board web interface also

allows one user to take control of a server currently being used by another

user. For more information, see "Preemption" on page 84.
