Case 2. Multiple Write Access to the Same Server
Purpose: To enable various users to view the same server simultaneously and to grant them equal
opportunity to compete for the control/operation of the server when the keyboard/mouse activity
in the server has become inactive for a preset period of time (1 second by default unless it is
customized). Only one person is allowed to control/operate the server at one time.
