Global user access

Global users access the AdderView CATxIP 5000 using a viewer and a network/internet link. There

are three main types of connection: a standalone VNC viewer, a VNC Java application used within a

standard web browser, or a console server connection (used to access specialist server devices).

Select the required connection type

What will I see when I ﬁrst login to a VNC session?

When you login to a VNC session, the result that you ﬁrst see will depend on the

status of your username account:

• Ifyouareusingyourusernameforthersttimethennohostwillbeinitially

selected. Click the Hosts button to view a list (see Host selection for

details).

•Ifyouhavepreviouslybeenloggedin,thelasthostcomputerthatyou

viewed will be shown.

•Ifyourusernameisalreadyloggedinatanotherlocation,thenthehost

computer currently being viewed in the existing session will be shown.

How do multiple users coexist?

Each of the four global users and also the local user can view any host computer

for which they have permission. More than one user can view the same host and

potential conﬂicts are arbitrated in the following ways:

• Ifauserviewsahostinprivatemodeandthenswitchestoanewhost,then

the new host will also be viewed in private.

• Ifauserisviewingahostinsharedmodewhenanotheruserchoosesthe

same host but in private mode, the ﬁrst user’s view will be blanked and a

message indicating that another user has taken private access will be given.

• Ifauserviewsahostinprivatemodeandanotheruserchoosesthesame

host, the second user will see a message indicating that the host is already

being viewed in private mode.

• Ifmultipleusersareviewingthesamehostandoneswitchestoanotherhost

then only that user moves to the new host, all other users are unaffected.
