2.5 Disconnecting and Freeing a Video Channel
When your work with the VENICE client software is finished, the allo-
cated video channel should be freed again so that other users will be
able to use it for their tasks. If a video channel is not freed again, it will
remain occupied by this instance of the VENICE client software, and no
one else can connect to it (error message ’Device already in use’).
To free a video channel for others perform one of the following:
1. Click once more on the respective video channel button, i.e. the
activated one.
This will deactivate the button whereupon the connection to the video
channel of the VENICE server is severed and the channel will be freed.
2. Alternatively, you can close this instance of the VENICE client soft-
ware (see section “Exiting the Program” on page 2-15).
When the program is closed, the connection to the video channel of the
VENICE server is severed and the channel will be freed.
A freeing/disconnection of the video channels can be forced at
the VENICE server. Further information about this can be
found in the “VENICE Administration and Configuration” user
guide.
