MagicTwin continued
The photograph on the previous page shows the new MagicTwin'd login screen. No different to the existing Windows XP login screen (not to be confused with the Welcome screen which is now disabled under MagicTwin) bar a couple of graphical identifiers as to which station you're logging into.
Being logged in on either of the stations gives you an icon in the systray for accessing the management console. Both stations have the icon and provided you know the administrator password, you have access. Station 1 is treated slightly differently in the software in that it's called the Main Console, but they are functionally identical given a decent graphics card (more on that later).
Standard stuff.
That's the business end of the console, where you attach HIDs (human input devices) to MagicTwin stations. I've attached a PS/2 keyboard to the Main Console (station 1) and my usual USB keyboard and mouse to station 2.
Once you've done that (the software takes care of PS/2 assignment automatically, recognising the dongles provided, USB device assignment is manual) you get simple information viewing of things like your installed license. You can also view what's going on on the other station.
Besides seeing what apps the other person is running, you can see info on their station.
You can set their logon options, all very self explanatory too.
Finally, display setting adjustment is but a few clicks away.
It really is a piece of cake to setup, and all the better for it. MagicTwin's goal is to get two people logging on to the system concurrently, with the minimum of fuss.
Let's chat about licensing requirements and hardware restrictions a bit more.
