CONNECTING COMPUTERS WHILE THE SYSTEM
IS
RUNNING
Connecting Computers While the System Is Running
You can connect additional comput-
ers to the ViewPoint system while it
is running. When you turn on a newly
connected computer, its system pod
recognizes it and you can switch
users to the new computer without
taking any additional steps.
You can also connect a new user
console to the system while it is
running. When you connect the new
keyboard, mouse, and monitor to the
new user pod, the pod configures
automatically.
This technique allows replacement of
failed devices without having to
restart the system. It also allows the
user to move input devices from one
console to another if necessary.
