36 Installing and Using the Axel-VNCviewer
6.2 - SHARABLE VNC SESSION
By default, a VNC session is non-sharable. That means only one viewer can be
connected to an Xvnc with a specific TCP port. If a second viewer tries to open
the same VNC session as the first viewer, the first viewer is disconnected. (This
behaviour can be changed by using the '-dontdisconnect' Xvnc option).
It is however possible to share the same graphics session between several VNC
viewers.
Example
: lessons or training. A teacher uses this Axel-VNCviewer and students
follow these operations on their own Axel-VNCviewer.
To set a VNC sharable session, enter the AX3000 Set-Up (<Ctrl><Alt><Esc>),
select
[Configuration]
→
[Terminal]
→
[Session X]
(where X is the session
number). Within this box select
[General Parameters]
and press
<Space>
. A
dialog box is displayed. Within this box set the following parameters:
-
Shared Session
: yes
-
Keyboard and Mouse Ignored
: yes or no. In the 'teacher and students'
example, select 'no' for the teacher's Platine and select 'yes' for the
students' Platine.
Note
: to prevent a non-sharable VNC session disconnecting these sharable
sessions, use the 'dontdisconnect' Xvnc option..
