4.2.2 Application use
The O
CTOPUS
C
LIENT
operates in essentially four modes:
not connected
,
inactive
,
queued
, and
active
. A
non-connected client
is not capable of controlling a remote wallboard display, as it is not in
communication with any O
CTOPUS
server. An
inactive client
is in communication with at least one
O
CTOPUS
server, although it is not actively sending mouse and keyboard information. A
queued client
is
one where activation has been requested, but there is already an
active client
with a higher or equal
priority using the display. In the queued case, a message is displayed in the message area of the main
toolbar interface stating where in the wait queue the O
toolbar interface stating where in the wait queue the O
CTOPUS
CLIENT
has been placed. An
active client
is
redirecting all keyboard and mouse activity to a single connected O
CTOPUS
server, this has the effect of
remotely controlling the wallboard display. An
active client
can have other non-active connections to
other servers.
Status of the application is reflected in the message area. Messages include:

The O
CTOPUS
client, by default, starts as in an unconnected state. To control a wallboard display, it is
necessary to connect the client to the O
CTOPUS
server that is running on the wallboard display computer.
This is done via the
Configure
Connections
dialog that can be displayed from the
Options
menu in the
main interface.
