system.
• Active Sessions: Click Active Sessions in the side navigation bar to view a list of all the users that are accessing

not been accepted by the administrator as a desired pairing. An unauthorized pairing can occur after initial discovery of a device pair, or if the
transmitter was inserted into the wrong target computer.
