Terminating a Target Device Session
If you have Administrator privileges and the target device you are attempting to access is currently
being viewed by a local DS user, the DSWebview software allows you to disconnect the local DS
user so that you may access that target device. To terminate a local DS user’s session, you must
first specify the ability to do so in DSView management software Global Settings dialog box.
When you choose to terminate a local DS user’s connection, a dialog box will display prompting
you to confirm the termination. The local DS user will receive a notification message when you
click Yes in the dialog box. Control of the port is then transferred to you.
Administrators may also disconnect a DS user or CPS appliance connected using the
Telnet application.
NOTE: You cannot preempt a local user that is in Broadcast mode. See the DSR Installer/User Guide for
additional information.
