accessing server 2-4. User B 

wants to scan servers on the 

secondary switch at Port 1 of 

the primary switch.
Behavior: Any keyboard stroke 

or mouse click by User B will 

stop the scanning and pass the 

keystrokes or mouse movements 

to the currently selected server.

Example 2: User A is 

accessing server 2-4. User B 

wants to scan server 2-4.
Behavior: Activities of User 

A can be monitored but key-

board strokes or mouse 

movements by User B cannot 

be passed on to server 2-4.

Example 3: User A is 

accessing server 2-4. User 

B wants to scan server 2-2.
Behavior: Since User A 

occupies the primary port 

connection at Port 2, server 

2-2 is unavailable to User B.
