2.1 Access permissions
The DCX1000 and DCX3000 Switches use a system of hierarchal Access permissions to mediate between numerous consoles and
multiple computers. Each console is granted the use of up to four types of access permissions to each computer, most of which
influence how other users can gain simultaneous access to the same computer. The four access permissions, and their effects on
other console users are as follows:
VIEW ONLY
The console user can view the chosen
computer’s output but cannot alter it.
Once selected, other consoles can
simultaneously use
VIEW ONLY,
SHARED ACCESS or EXCLUSIVE
for the same computer.
SHARED ACCESS
The console user can view and control
the chosen computer’s output.
Once selected, other consoles can
simultaneously use
VIEW ONLY or
SHARED ACCESS
for the same computer.
EXCLUSIVE
The console user can view and
control the chosen computer’s
output.
Once selected, other consoles can
simultaneously use
VIEW ONLY
for the same computer.
PRIVATE
The console user can view
and control the chosen
computer’s
output.
Once selected, all other
consoles are completely
locked out from the same
computer.
Note: The hierarchy of permissions shown here increases from left to right.
