The WinCC OA server provides the client components to the Industrial Thin Client.

5.7.1 Notes on Sm@rtServer access
Monitoring mode
If you access a device on which only monitoring mode has been configured for Sm@rtServer
access, you can only monitor the device; you cannot intervene for control purposes.
Operating right for Sm@rtServer
When you access a device, it is possible that this device is being used at the time. In this case,
the Industrial Thin Client does not have operating rights.
If you touch the touch screen, a message is displayed stating that no operator input is
possible. How you request or force operating rights depends on the configuration on the
device you are accessing with the Industrial Thin Client.
