How to Use Remote Control:
After you
connect an iClose-Up Client to an iClose-Up Server by modem, Internet or network
you will see the Connect Options screen giving you the choice of doing one or more of, File Transfers,
Remote Control or Chatting. If you
choose to run Remote Control (NetMeeting), then you will get two new
windows on your screen. One window is
iClose-Ups small Remote Control Tool Bar. The Tool Bar will say Starting
Remote Control, Please Wait. After remote control starts, it will say Remote Controlling xxxxxx where xxxxxx is the name of the
computer you are controlling remotely.
The other window in the center of your Client screen (which can take a
few moments to appear) is your Remote Control window of the Server computer.
To take Remote
Control, double click inside the center of the Remote Control window.
To end
Remote Control click on the large Close
& Exit button on the iClose-Up Remote Control Tool Bar.
Another way to
take Remote Control, at any time, of an iClose-Up Server (besides taking remote
control when you first connect as described above) is to click on the Entry for
the computer you want to remote control in your iClose-Up List. Then click on the option Remote Control this Machine.
After you get
remote control you will probably see scroll bars on the sides of the remote
control window, depending on the screen resolution of both computers. If the resolution of both computers is the
same then you can make the remote control window full screen by clicking
on the View pull-down
menu at the top of your remote control screen, and then clicking on the
selection Full Screen. If the resolution of both
sides is not the same then the Full Screen selection will be grayed out.
Once the screen is full screen a small button will appear at the upper
right of your screen saying, Restore. Clicking on this Restore button will restore the Remote Control
screen back to its starting size.
Other options
for Remote Control can be found on the Remote
Control tab in the Options screen.
Bring up the iClose-Up List by double-clicking on the red iClose-Up
triangles in the lower right of your screen.
Click on the Options button on the bottom of the iClose-Up List. Then click on the Remote
Control tab. Also see iClose-Up
Remote Control Security by right clicking on the iClose-Up triangles in the
lower right of your screen and selecting Security
for this Computer.
When you start
Remote Control you will by default see the desktop of the iClose-Up
Server. This is the normal way to start
remote. If the iClose-Up Server has a
active moving graphic on its desktop or a very complex graphic desktop then it
can take a long time to transfer to your screen. You can uncheck the option When
Starting Remote Control, show desktop of the other computer and the desktop will not be sent over to your screen when you
connect. Instead when you start Remote
Control you will see iClose-Ups small remote control Tool Bar.
You could then use either of the two options Launch Application running on Remote Computer or List Applications on Remote
Computer. To find out more about these options
see the Remote Control tab in the Options screen. Bring up the iClose-Up
List by double-clicking on the red iClose-Up triangles in the lower right of
your screen. Click on the Options button on the bottom of the iClose-Up
List. Then click on the Remote
Control tab.
