Ports Menu & Forms

same serial port. Multiple users can connect simultaneously to a serial port. To
connect to a port or start a shared session, the user must have permission to
access the port. If you allow multiple sessions through “Allow Multiple
Sessions” drop-down menu, the “Privilege Users” field should be populated
with the user names who have access rights.
