4.4 - SWITCHING SESSIONS
AXEL thin clients provide multiple and concurrent connections. This feature
allows simultaneous access to multiple hosts and applications.
Switching sessions can be done through:
- The keyboard: press <Alt><Fx> for an existing session or to create a
predefined session (see Chapter 3.2.3).
- The mouse: click onto the session icon or the session label in the
taskbar.
If the 'destination' session is not yet active, the connection automatically
launches the session. See Chapter 4.3.1.
4.5 - RETURNING TO THE LOCAL DESKTOP
The local desktop is displayed only when there are no current active sessions
Returning to the Local Desktop can be done by pressing <Alt><Esc> or by
clicking the taskbar 'desktop' icon (on the left).
4.6 - DISCONNECTING SESSION
A session is generally closed by a system command, ie logging out. (This allows
session resources to be cleanly released by the server):
- Under Unix/Linux: invoke "exit" command or press <Ctrl><D>.
- Under Windows: select 'Logoff' from the 'Start' Menu.
The session can also be closed in a more brutal way where the session is
closed only at the TCP/IP level:
- Click the taskbar 'Yellow Key' icon. A confirmation is needed.
- Press <Ctrl><Alt><D>. (Immediate close, no confirmation)
