General
Under the General heading you have the option to delete offline modules or automatically upgrade
modules. By default, both settings are disabled. For more information see Upgrading UMIQ
modules on page 73.
Sharing
Under the Sharing heading, you can enable and select the level of sharing. Options include:
Automatic, Exclusive and Stealth.
• Automatic is a sharing option that will automatically allow another user to share the console
session. A user trying to access a console session that is already in use will not be prompted to
share, they will automatically be logged into the session.
• Exclusive is a private sharing option that does not allow sharing by other users.
• Stealth is a sharing option that starts a Video Viewer window session, but you will only be able
to view what occurs on the target without controlling the keyboard or mouse. The user who is
currently active will not be notified that access is being shared and no request to authorize
sharing will be made. If the user's preemption level is higher than or equal to yours, the stealth
connection may not be permitted.
When you attempt to connect to a session already in use by another user, a dialog box states the
target is not available for viewing along with the name of the current user(s). At this point, you may
request to share access to the target, preempt the user or use stealth mode, if it has been enabled.
• Share a connection - When you are prompted to share a connection and you click Share with
the other user. When sharing a target, all users may monitor and take control it if no other user
is active.
When you click OK, the primary user who is active will receive a request to allow sharing
unless Automatic has been enabled. If the user confirms, you will be given target access.
• Preempt a user’s connection - When you are prompted to preempt the user’s session and you
click Preempt the other user, the user requesting access to the target will be connected and
existing user(s) will lose their connection to the target. The existing user(s) will be notified that
their sessions have been preempted.
To display a list of users sharing their port or channel, select View - Connected Users in the Video
Viewer window. Users in stealth mode are excluded from this display.
