When multiple sessions are allowed for one port, ACS will accept only
one common session and one sniffer session. In this setting, the behavior
of the ACS is as follows:
• The first user to connect to the port opens a common session.
• From the second connection on, only Admin users are allowed to
connect to that port.
• The ACS will send a hotkey menu to the administrator(s).
