local user account.

• Type - Session type, which may be KVM, Virtual Media or Serial.
The following fields are not displayed by default, but may be displayed using the Customize link:

The IP address of the DSView proxy will appear in this column for a proxy connection.
• Connection - Connection path from the target device to the managed appliance. See Managing
Connections to Units on page 132 for more information.
• Mode - Session mode, which may change during the session. Available modes are:
• Normal - An interactive session that may be shared with other users. When two or more
users are sharing the session, the mode will change to Sharing Interactive.
• Exclusive - A private session that does not allow sharing by other users.
• Sharing Interactive - A DSView software session that is being shared by two or more
users. Interactive users have full control of the video, mouse and keyboard. Passive users
may also share the software session, but may only display the session and have a mode of

A user may display the usernames of other users sharing the DSView software session if
View identity of shared connections is checked in the Video Viewer Session Properties
dialog box or if the user is a member of the built-in administrators user group. Users
viewing the session in Stealth mode will not be listed. If other users disconnect from the
session and a single user remains connected, the mode will change to Normal.

Passive users may only display the DSView software session. Interactive users may also
share the session, but have full control of the video, mouse and keyboard and have a mode
