Multiplicity must be installed on a 'Primary' computer that has a connected keyboard, mouse and monitor that will be used to control other 'Secondary' Multiplicity computers. Primary and Secondary designations are selected by the user during the initial configuration process. They can, however, be changed at anytime thereafter.
There are two ways to connect Primary PC's to Secondary PC's: Seamless mode and KVM mode:
Seamless mode can be used when the Secondary PC's have their own monitors and can be seen by the operator (on the same desk for example).
KVM mode is used to connect to remote computers that may, or may not, have mice, keyboards or monitors attached to them. The display from KVM connected Seconary PC will be shown on the Primary computer's monitor.
With this in mind, some level of planning would be prudent when considering what you want as your Primary and Secondary computers and how you want connect to them.
During the installation process, a keyboard, mouse and monitor must be connected to each computer. Seamless-connected Secondaries will only need a monitor connected after installation and set up. KVM-connected computer will not require a monitor, keyboard or mouse after installation and set up.
To start, you will install and configure Multiplicity on a computer you want as a Secondary in either Seamless or KVM mode.
