PC-Duo overview

PC-Duo connection types

PC-Duo services are performed over service connections between a PC-Duo Master

(with appropriate access rights) and a PC-Duo Host. Service connections are established

on demand, when a PC-Duo Master requests a service from a PC-Duo Host.

PC-Duo supports several different types of remote access connections:

RDP compatibility: Follow the active session

PC-Duo connections can be used to share an active RDP session in real-time.

If PC-Duo Host is running on a desktop-class operating system (e.g. Windows XP or

Vista), and there is an active/connected RDP session being hosted on that computer,

then the Host will automatically capture and provide input control to that RDP session. In

essence, the Host will capture what the remote RDP session user is seeing, not what the

local physical console on that machine is showing (probably the Windows login screen).

When there is no active/connected RDP session being hosted on that computer, or if an

active/connected RDP session is stopped, the Host will automatically capture and provide

input control to the session running on the computer and being displayed on the local

console. The Host will follow the active session as it moves from RDP user back to the

local console.

Note: This feature only applies to desktop-class operating systems, which support only

one active session at a time. Server-class operating systems (e.g. Windows Server 2003

or Server 2008) can support multiple sessions simultaneously via Terminal Services; use

the Terminal Services support in the Host to capture and/or provide input control to one

or more sessions on server-class OS.

Wake-on-LAN support

PC-Duo can be used to "wake-up" remote computers that have been shut down

(sleeping, hibernating, or soft off; i.e., ACPI state G1 or G2), with power reserved for the

network card, but not disconnected from its power source. The network card listens for a

specific packet containing its MAC address, called the magic packet, that is broadcast on

the subnet or LAN.
