Channel port is connected to a device and active, but is unavailable to access due to
lack of tier path. It operates in Private mode only as 'Blocked Channels Identification'.
Another possibility is the path you manually choose overlaps with another user's path
partially or completely and thus limit your accessibility to any servers other than the
server being accessed by another user.
For additional information about Private Mode, Public View Mode, and PC
Share Mode, see the bulleted item Operation Mode under System
Configuration (on page 100).
Messages Shown in Public View (P-View) Mode
When the system is set to Public View mode, one user can select the
server which another user has already selected. However, the second
user can only view video output without the capability to control the server
or input any data using the keyboard and mouse. In this mode, other OSUI
graphic elements appear on the screen when:
• You select a server that someone else is already controlling. A
message showing the name of the server being viewed appears on
your monitor. It cannot be removed, but will disappear after three
seconds.
Note: To return to the Selection Menu, press Esc.
• Another user selects the server you have been accessing. You will
see a message bearing that user's name for three seconds,
twice—first when the second user begins viewing the server and then
when the second user stops viewing.
