Manage access rights to a Gateway Host

For auditing purposes, your network administrator may require that all remote control

connections be established through a Gateway. If this is the case, your remote control

access rights for Gateway Hosts are determined by the credentials you use to connect to

the Gateway. Usually, these are your Windows credentials.

If your administrator has restricted your access rights, the remote control functionality on

a Gateway Host may be limited or denied. See your administrator if you are unable to

connect to either a Gateway or a Host computer.

Send Wake-on-LAN Signal

When a Master attempts to connect through the Gateway to a remote computer with a

Host, and the last Host status in the Gateway indicates that the Host is offline, the Master

assumes that the remote computer is asleep, and will automatically send the Wake-on-

LAN signal (based on its MAC address and last known IP address). If the Gateway

doesn‟t think the Host is offline, this step is skipped.

If the remote computer was asleep, and wakes up in a timely manner, the Master

connection attempt will be successful (although it may take longer than if the computer

were already awake). If the computer doesn‟t wake up in a timely manner, the connection

attempt will fail, but the computer will now be awake so if the Master attempts a

connection again, it should be successful.

The Master user can also explicitly try to wake up an offline computer by selecting a Host

with offline status in the Gateway Hosts tab and then invoking the Send Wake-on-LAN

Signal command from the console menu bar (Connection > Send Wake-on-LAN

Signal) or Gateway Hosts tab context menu. If a Host is not selected, the Send Wake-

on-LAN Signal command will not be active.
