Remote Cntl > Set Parameters

The Set Parameters page sets the default parameters for your remote control session. These settings are remembered on a per administrator basis. Changes take effect immediately and are reused every time you start remote control. See Select Type for a description of the different types of remote control packages.

WinVNC and K-VNC Options

  • View Only Mode - The administrator can view the remote machine. No mouse or keyboard events are sent to the target machine.
  • Hide WinVNC system tray icon on the remote machine - Check this box to hide the WinVNC icon on the remote machine.
  • Restrict to 64 colors - The display on the listening machine is set to 64 colors. This is useful for slower connections.
  • Full Screen mode - The entire display of the administrator machine is used to display the screen contents of the target machine. Exit by displaying the remote control menu (default F8) and unselect Full screen.

RAdmin Options

  • Full Control - The administrator can view and/or control the screen keyboard and mouse of the target machine.
  • View Only - The administrator can view the remote machine. No mouse or keyboard events are sent to the target machine.
  • File Transfer - Start a file transfer (FTP) session with the remote machine. This mode presents you with two standard file browsers, one for the target machine and one for the administrator machine. Drag and drop files between the two machines in this mode.
  • Full Screen View Mode - The entire display of the administrator machine is used to display the screen contents of the target machine. This option is only available in a Full Control or View Only session.
  • Encrypt Data Stream - Checking this box encrypts all traffic between the administrator and target machines.
  • Update/sec - Sets the maximum number of update per second RAdmin generates. Higher update rates consume more CPU cycles on the remote machine.
  • Color Format - Specifies the number of colors used for remote control. Large color formats use more bandwidth.

  • Full Screen mode - Use your full screen to remote control the remote machine.
