Multiuser Operation
The KN2108 / KN2116 supports multiuser operation. Up to 32 users can log in
at the same time. When multiple users simultaneously access the KN2108 /
KN2116 switch from remote consoles, the rules of precedence that apply are
shown in the following table:
Note: ATEN recommends that the user who starts Panel Array Mode set it to
display at least four panels; otherwise, it is possible that other users may
receive only part of the picture.
Operation Rule
General
 Once a user invokes the OSD, no other user can invoke it
until the original user closes it.
Auto Scan Mode
 If a user has invoked Auto Scan Mode (see Auto Scanning,
page 81), but the OSD has not been invoked, another user
can interrupt Auto Scan Mode by invoking the OSD.
Panel Array Mode
 When a user has invoked Panel Array Mode (see page 83),
all successive users automatically enter Panel Array Mode.
Panel Array Mode continues until the original user stops it.
(Administrators can override Panel Array Mode.)
 Only the user who starts Panel Array Mode can use the Skip
Mode (see page 82) function.
 Only the user who starts Panel Array Mode can switch ports.
Other users automatically switch to the ports that the original
user selects. However, if an individual user does not have
access rights to the port that the original user switches to,
the user will not be able to view that port.
 Individual users can increase or decrease the number of
panels they wish to view in Panel Array Mode; however, the
picture quality may decrease as the number of panels
decreases.
