Releasing a Channel in the PC Shard Mode
This section applies to dual-user models only.
The product provides two operation modes: Private and PC Share mode.
Private mode allows only one user to access a channel at a time, but PC
Share mode allows two users to access the same channel
simultaneously.
PC Share mode functions when the administrator has turned on the PC
Share mode. See
Available Settings and Options
(on page 38).
To share access to servers:
1.
Ensure that the PC Share mode is activated or applied.
2.
Now you can share the same channel with the other user. Depending
on the channel access sequence, you may or may not be able to
control the server.
If you access the channel earlier than the other user — you can
control the server, and the other user can only view the video.
If you access the channel later than the other user — the other
user can control the computer, and you can only view the video.
To release the server control:
1.
If you are the controlling user, you can release the server control by
doing one of these:
Exit from the current channel by selecting another channel or
logging out.
Both of you and the other user who accesses the same channel
stop using the keyboard and mouse for 5 seconds.
2.
After the server control is released, any user who first presses any
key or moves the mouse gains the server control.
