Monitor Hosts

If the Guest Access Security settings on the Hosts allow remote control, the Guest can sequentially monitor the computer screen images of multiple Hosts and toggle between monitor mode and remote control mode.

During monitoring most Guest toolbar buttons will be disabled, and the Guest will have no keyboard and mouse control on the Host computer.

If you discover during monitoring that you need to do something on the Host being monitored, switch to remote control mode using the Monitor/Remote Control toggle button in the monitor toolbox. Not all remote control functionality, however, will be available.

Each Host will be monitored for a specified number of seconds. Specify the monitor interval in Tools > Program Options > Monitor.

On the Host, monitoring will appear as multiple short remote control sessions.

To start monitoring Hosts

1.Select Hosts on the Quick Connect tab, the Phonebook tab or the History tab.
2.Click the Guest Monitor Button Monitor button on the toolbar to start connecting to the first selected Host.

Alternatively, select Monitor on the Connection menu.

3.If prompted by the Host, enter logon information to log on to the Host.

You will now see the first Host computer.

4.The monitor toolbox will be displayed. Use the tools to control the monitoring.
