  2. Select the Settings tab.
  3. Under Technician Console, select from the following options:
    Option Description
    Technician can handle maximum X active sessions Set the maximum number of simultaneous sessions that you want to allow technicians to handle. When the maximum number is reached, a technician will be unable to activate new sessions.
    Restriction: A technician can handle only one active Rescue Lens session at a time.
    Technician automatically goes into Busy state when handling more than X active sessions Sessions cannot be transferred to a Busy technician, but a Busy technician can see all sessions in his queue and pick up new sessions.
