The O

CTOPUS

 software system is separated into three distinct software modules, each of which has

specific installation and operation requirements, these modules are:
O

CTOPUS 

C

LIENT

 

is 

software that is installed on the operators workstation. This software package is the

user interface to the system, allowing operators to move between manipulating their local desktop and
that of the remote wallboard.
O

CTOPUS 

S

ERVER

 

is a software service/application that is installed on the wallboard display system. This

software accepts network connections from both the O

CTOPUS 

C

LIENT

 and the O

CTOPUS 

A

DMINISTRATOR

client. It communicates mouse movements and keyboard input received from the O

CTOPUS 

C

LIENT

 to the

wallboard. The server also implements the prioritization requests sent to it via the O

CTOPUS

A

DMINISTRATOR

.

O

CTOPUS 

A

DMINISTRATOR

 

is optional software that implements prioritization of access to the wallboard.

Windows NT is an inherently single user system, and thus if there are several operators which require
access to the wallboard display, this can only be accomplished in a serial fashion. The O

CTOPUS

A

DMINISTRATOR

 software permits an administrator to establish rules of access, allowing some users

access to the wall, and others not.  In addition to access rights, it also implements override priorities,
where certain users can have privileged access to the wallboard. This software is typically installed on an
administrators workstation, and should only be accessible to administrative personnel.
