Using the AX3000

4.2.2 - Disconnecting Sessions
A session can be disconnected by one of two ways:
- a system command
example: under Unix, exit (or <Ctrl><D>),
- <Ctrl><Alt><Shift><D>. This keystroke is locally processed by the
AX3000 and works regardless the operating system.
When the user closes the current session (<Ctrl><D> on UNIX) the behaviour
of the AX3000 depends on how the 'auto-reconnection' parameter is set for
the current session.
If this parameter is set to 'yes', a new connection is immediately and
automatically established within the current session.
If this parameter is set to 'no', the AX3000 displays the first of the remaining
active sessions. If there are no remaining active sessions (for example,
because the last active view has been disconnected), the 'idle screen' is
displayed.
4.3 - LOCKING THE SCREEN
For security reasons, it could be useful for the AX3000 operator to lock the
screen when he goes out for a short time. (Instead of having to log-out).
Note: the lock screen means the AX3000 screen is cleared (but the current
sessions are still connected). There is no way to enter the AX3000 Set-Up or to
switch the session. The only way to take the control is entering the proper
password.
The lock screen feature is associated with the screen saver function and must
be enabled through the AX3000 Set-Up (see Chapter 3.3.1).
Two methods are available to lock a screen:
