CHAPTER 4: MODES OF OPERATION
The Emerald SE system has various modes of operation such as Auto-Login, Auto-Connect, Private Connection, and Shared
Connection Modes.
4.1 AUTO LOGIN
In Auto-Login Mode, turning on the Emerald SE Receiver automatically causes a login as a pre-defined user. The user is presented
with the permitted connections that have been predefined.
4.2 AUTO CONNECT
In Auto-Connect Mode, when a user logs-in to the Emerald SE Receiver, it causes an automatic connection to their pre-allocated
workstation or virtual desktop. Auto-Login and Auto-Connect are defined independent of each other, but can be used together to
auto login/auto connect devices that are difficult to reach.
4.3 PRIVATE CONNECTION
In Private Connection Mode, when a user makes a connection to a target workstation/virtual desktop, this connection is only
accessible by this user. All other users will receive a ābusyā message if they attempt to connect to the same workstation/virtual
machine. This is the default mode for connections.
4.4 SHARED CONNECTION
In Shared Connection Mode, multiple users can connect to the audio and video of the same target computer over the network.
They arbitrate for control of the keyboard and mouse of that computer. Non-keyboard and mice devices are not supported on
shared connections (such as USB 2.0 devices due to the timing/OS limitations). Analog audio can now be shared in a share mode
connection.
These various modes can be mixed on a particular Receiver and connection. For example Auto-Login and Auto-Connect can be
combined to enable an Emerald SE Receiver to automatically connect to a specific target workstation/virtual desktop when power
is applied without any user intervention that might be required for Digital Signage or Kiosk type of deployments.
