Using Exclusive Mode - Fujitsu control 4 0812 User Manual

When another user is viewing this target device, a message indicates
that the target device is already involved in a KVM session.
If the switch has connection sharing enabled, you are given the option to
share the session. For information about connection sharing, see "Using
preemption" on page 45. If your access rights (as compared with those
of the primary user) allow it, you are prompted to either share or preempt
the existing session.
3. If the option is available, select Preempt.
4. Complete one of the following steps:
• Click OK or Yes. A preemption notification is sent to the primary user.
Depending on your access rights, the primary user might be able to
reject the preemption.
• Click No to let the primary user retain the connection.
5. If the preemption completes, the Video Viewer of the target device session
opens.

mode.

• Double-click on a KVM s4 switch in the Unit list.
• Select a KVM s4 switch from the Unit list, then click the Manage
Appliance button.
• Right-click on a KVM s4 switch in the Unit list. Select Manage Appliance
from the pop-up menu.
• Select a KVM s4 switch in the Unit list and press Enter.
