- When the dialog box contains a statement asking if you wish to preempt the DSView user’s
session and you click Preempt the other user, the DSView user requesting access to the target
device will be connected and the existing DSView user(s) will lose their connection to the tar-
get device. The existing DSView user(s) will be notified that the DSView session has
been preempted.
• Make a stealth connection (DSView Administrators and User Administrators only) - When the
dialog box contains a statement asking if you wish to connect using Stealth mode and if you
click Stealth mode, a Video Viewer window session will be started but you will only be able to
view what occurs on the server and be unable to control the keyboard or mouse. The DSView
user that is currently active will not receive notification that access is being shared and no
request to authorize sharing will be made.
Up to 12 DSView users may share a single port at one time. If a 13th DSView user attempts to
connect, an error message will inform the DSView user that no sessions are available.
At any time, a DSView user may select View - List of Shared Users in a Video Viewer window to
view a list of DSView users sharing their port or channel. DSView users in Stealth mode are
excluded from this list.
