Turn Userful MultiSeat On and Off
To access this function, go to System Operations >
Turn On/Off Userful MultiSeat.
Because this feature affects the entire system, individual
stations are not listed on this page. Instead, a status
message indicates whether Userful MultiSeat is
operational ("Userful MultiSeat is currently
ON") or disabled ("Userful MultiSeat is
currently OFF").
When Userful MultiSeat is first installed, the Setup
Wizard enables MultiSeat by default. If the "Turn on
Userful MultiSeat" box is unchecked before the post-
installation reboot, it will be necessary to turn on MultiSeat from the Control Center.
To turn on Userful MultiSeat:
1. Click on the button marked "Turn ON Userful MultiSeat".
2. A pop up window appears, indicating that a reboot is necessary to complete the action. Click "OK"
to proceed. Userful MultiSeat will not begin to work until the system is rebooted.
3. When the system is rebooted, it will be running in MultiSeat mode.
As a troubleshooting step, it may be necessary at some point to turn off Userful MultiSeat and
return the system to a single-user configuration. When MultiSeat is turned off, all services are stopped
and disabled, and all stations except the onboard video station are lost -- even if the Control Panel is being
accessed from one of those stations.
If an application or feature is not working, turning off MultiSeat can help determine:
• Whether the problem lies with the operating system or another application.
• If the problem occurs when MultiSeat is turned off, then MultiSeat is probably not causing
the issue
• Whether the problem results from multiplying the system.
• If everything works in single-user mode, and the problem occurs only when MultiSeat is
turned on, it could indicate an issue with Userful MultiSeat -- see below for more information
about Help and Support.
To turn off Userful MultiSeat:
1. Click on the button marked "Turn OFF Userful MultiSeat".
2. A pop up window appears, asking for confirmation of the action. Click "OK" to proceed. Userful
MultiSeat will shut down immediately, and all stations except the onboard station will be
shut down. No reboot is necessary.
