Host Operation

The Host runs as a Windows service whenever you start up your computer. It can be

configured to accept connections from a Master user in two different ways:

 “Peer-to-peer connections” between a Master computer and a Host computer. With

these connections, authentication and authorization are enforced by the Host.

 “Gateway-managed connections” between a Master computer and a Host computer

through a Gateway. With these connections, authentication and authorization are

enforced by the Gateway.

NOTE: By default, the Host allows the Master users who belong to the Host computer’s

Administrators group (a Windows group) full access to control the Host computer and to

configure the Host Control Panel window for the Host computer. In addition, the default

Gateway user account RemoteControlGateway also has full access. Other Master

users must be added (see the “Security tab”) in order to have access to the Host.

The Host includes many configuration options, including:

 “About tab”: The ability to manage license keys and see system information about the

Host.

 “Access tab”: The ability to block remote access entirely.

 “Effects tab”: The ability to control graphical effects transmitted from the Host.

 “Gateways tab”: The ability of the Host computer to report to one or more the

Gateways in your network. Access to the Host can then be centrally managed and

monitored by the Gateways.

 “General tab”: The ability to provide audible and/or visible notification on the Host

computer when a Master user requests a connection.

 “Options tab”: The ability to view and change default Host settings.

 “Protocols tab”: The ability to select network protocol and/or port for communication

with the Host.

 “Screen tab”: The ability to select desired screen capture technology and in the case

of user-mode screen capture, limit the amount of bandwidth used.

 “Security tab”: The ability to create and apply custom access rights policies, including

permissions and restrictions for specific the features, to the Master users or groups.

 “Status tab”: The ability to view current connection status and/or end active

connection.

 “Terminal Services tab”: The ability to view and manage configuration settings for

Hosts operating in terminal services sessions.

 “Open chat window”: The ability to enter private chat room with one or Master users

connected to the Host.

 “Set up remote printing”: The ability to set up remote printing.
