Defines how the port is to be accessed when multiple users have
logged on, as follows:
Exclusive: The first user to switch to the port has exclusive
control over the port. No other users can view the port. The
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 Timeout box, port control is transferred
to the other 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. Under these circumstances, users can take
advantage of the Message Board, which allows users to
communicate with each other regarding control of the keyboard
and mouse or keyboard, mouse, and video of a Share port (see
The Message Board, page 86).
Specifies the operating system that the server on the connected
port is using. Choices are Win, Mac1, Sun, and Mac2. The
default is Win.
