Push Video Hotkey; Operation Mode - ATEN KM0032 User Manual

Push Video Hotkey

The Push Video feature allows a user to push their console's port connection
to another console for viewing or operating in a Share or Occupy mode. To do
so; invoke the Hotkey Mode (see above Keyboard Hotkey Port Switching,
page 142) and enter the letter P followed by the console number you wish to
push your video to. For example; if you want to push your console port
connection to console 5, use: P5.

Operation Mode

For the Push Video feature to work, each port's Operation Mode must be set to
Share or Occupy. If a port is set to Exclusive only the first user connected to
that port can view or control it, and the Push Video feature will not allow other
users to connect. The Operation Mode for each port can be configured from the
Port Access tab under the Properties menu. (see above Configuring Port
Properties, page 129)
The list below defines how the port is to be accessed when multiple users
attempt to log on using the Push Video feature:
Exclusive: The first user to switch to the port has exclusive control over the
port. No other users can view the port. The Occupy Timeout function does
not apply to ports which have this setting.
Occupy: The first user to switch to the port has control over the port.
However, additional users may view the port's video display. If the user who
controls the port is inactive for longer than the time set in the Occupy
Timeout box, port control is transferred to the next user to move the mouse or
strike the keyboard.
Share: Users simultaneously share control over the port. Input from the users
is placed in a queue and executed chronologically
