Configuring the Switch and Share modes
The Switch window can be used to set one of the following switch modes:
•
Preemptive (default setting)—Enables any user to select any server at any time; a request from
another user disconnects the current user without warning.
•
Cooperative—Maintains the current user connection; the current user will not be disconnected if
another user requests connection.
You can also enable or disable Share mode and specify a time-out period from the Switch window. Share
mode enables two users to access a primary server.
