Remote Control

Remote Control allows the remote user to remotely control your PC. Remote Control provides the remote user with the ability to run your PC as if the user was sitting at your PC.  As a Viewer PC, you can start up Windows 95 on a Host PC and select a particular program or a file to execute.


Remote Control

In this example, Betty the Viewer PC is remotely controlling Barney the Host PC.  Betty has launched an MS Word application on Barney’s system.

In the other example, Betty is also the Viewer PC for the Host PC called Fred. In that example, the Viewer PC is starting up a Windows 95 program.


Describing Remote Control
Remote Control

Remote Control allows a Windows PC running the Viewer application to operate a remote Windows PC running the Host application. The keyboards, screens, and mice on the two PCs act as one. Both keyboards and mice are active to allow complete control of the Host PC.

Remote Control gives you the ability to take over a remote PC running Windows. Keystrokes and mouse movements from the Viewer’s PC are sent to the remote Host PC. Screen information from the applications running on the Host is transmitted back to the Viewer and displayed on the Viewer's screen.

Several options are available for a remote control session.

•	Blank the Host screen

•	Disable the Host's keyboard and mouse

•	Disable the Host's wallpaper

•	Disable the Viewer keyboard and mouse

•	Exit to your local machine

•	Switch between full control and monitor only

These options must be set prior to connecting. To change an option, disconnect, change the option and then reconnect.

New features for Remote Control include:

•	Auto Panning

•	Baton Passing


Describing File Transfer
File Transfer

File Transfer is a powerful tool that lets you exchange files between two Windows PCs. The Viewer or Host may initiate File Transfer. The PC that initiates File Transfer is the master. The remote machine then becomes a slave and is referred to as the background machine.

By initiating File Transfer, you can send files to a remote PC, or you can receive files from a remote PC.  Before file transfer, select the directory and files that you want to send or receive on both PCs. You can specify special confirmation and filtering options to apply to the file transfer process. To start the file transfer, select the file transfer button located at the bottom of the screen. During the file transfer process, you are updated with the transfer status of both the individual file in progress and the total files involved in the transfer.  New features for file transfer include:

•	Create and Remove Directories

•	Rename Files

•	Delete Files

•	Switch control to the remote

•	Long filename support

•	Drag and Drop file transfer


Describing Chat Session
Chat Session

Chat is a program that displays a pair of interactive Windows on both the Host and Viewer PC monitors. One window is for input, and the other for output. With Chat, you can communicate to the remote user by using your keyboard and display.

Chat gives you the ability to have a two-way interactive communication session between the Host and Viewer. This program gives you the ability to "chat" to the remote user, and also allows the remote user to activate Chat.

Chat options include Cut, Copy, Paste, and Undo. These functions use the Windows clipboard, and you use the standard Windows techniques for applying the Chat options.

New features for Chat include:

•	Chat Notification Bell

•	Chat Window pops to foreground


Describing User Preferences
User Preferences

The User Preferences function allows you to enter basic setup and configuration options before you use the Remotely Possible/32 programs.  The User Preferences function provides controls and options for the following:

•	Viewer Mode

•	Host Mode

•	TCP/IP (if included in product)

•	Dial Modems (if included in product)

•	Event Log

•	General

The user can specify how the Viewer and Host are to behave during a remote control session by setting options in the Viewer Mode and Host Mode sections.  In TCP/IP, Dial, IPX and NetBios you can select data transmission options for licensed protocols.  The Event Log specifies what session information you want to record.  Finally, in the General preferences a user can set global program parameters.

User Preferences are options that you want to set up and customize before you begin using your programs.


Connecting to a Remote

The Connect to a Remote function provides the basic connection to another PC. Connect to a Remote also consists of the Address Book and the Browse function.

The Address Book allows you to easily define connection information required to connect to remote PCs for outgoing connections. The Address Book allows you to maintain unlimited addresses containing IP names and addresses, and login-ids of frequently called systems stored in the database.

The Browse function is able to detect other PCs running Remotely Possible eliminating the need to create an address book of other users and IP addresses.  The Browse function is an alternative to the Address Book.

Start a connection by selecting one of the icons located at the bottom of the Connect To Remote window.  You can select:

•	Viewer Mode - Remote Control

•	Host Mode - Remote Control

•	File Transfer Mode

•	Chat Session


Receive Files

This allows access to File Transfer. Will only let the remote user receive files from your PC.


Send Files

This allows access to File Transfer. Will only let the remote user send files to your PC.


Enable Callback

Will force Remotely Possible/32 to call back the Callback Address. Turn this option on when you desire added security beyond the login name and password.


Local Confirmation

Enables the pop-up Security Box for the selected User Login. Before a connection is allowed, the Host PC must type in a password set under the security options to allow the user access.


User Name

This field shows the user selected from the list box. When you select OK the information in the fields below is saved under this user name.


 RP Login Name

This field contains the Remotely Possible/32 login name used in the Connect To Remote window, which the remote caller MUST use in order to connect to your PC.


RP Login Password

This field contains the Remotely Possible/32 password for the user. This field is used in the Connect To Remote window, and always echoes asterisks (*****) to protect the identity of the user password. If both the login name and password match then a connection is allowed.


Callback Address

Enter the network address to call back here. This network address is called when callback is on and the correct login name and password were received.


Notes

This field is for information only. It may contain information about the remote user to help you manage this database.


Access List

This list box contains the names of the users configured to access your system.

This will remove the current selection from the password database.

To delete a user from the database select the user name from the Password Directory list box. Press the Delete button to delete the user from the database after you've confirmed the selection.


Help 1


Security


Disable Local Confirmation For All Calls

Select this option to disable the local confirmation for all calls feature. When this feature is on local users are not called back.  The connection is completed on the initial call.


Require to Change Access Code

Select to enable/disable password protection for the Access Codes database. Enter an access code and press OK.  Confirm the access code you've just entered. Now each time you start Edit Access Codes, you must enter this password. Do not forget it.


Master Password

The master password provides or denies access to remote users.

You must enter the correct password to access the Password Editor


Password to Use

This box is activated to indicate that a remote user must log in.  The password entered here is the master password which regulates access for remote users.


Remote Users Must Log In

You may globally disable all users calling in from requiring a login name and password by disabling the Users must login option. This effectively disables security and allows FULL access to your PC. This also disables all callbacks since user-ids are bypassed.

If the Remote users must log in box is checked, then to gain access, the remote user must login and match the correct master password as entered in this box.


Disable Callback for all Users

Select this option to disable the callback feature. When this feature is on remote users are not called back.  The connection is completed on the initial call.

Also notice there are two other security related items in the dialog box. These are global settings that should be set when absolutely necessary.

The Disable callback for all users will override the callback enable setting for all users. When this option is selected Remotely Possible/32 will establish a connection with a caller without requiring any callback to take place even if the user access options have callback enabled.


Cancel

Press the Cancel button to close without saving the current user information.


Help

Context sensitive help is available in windows and in dialog boxes. You can also access the online help in standalone mode as a reference tool before using this application.

Change User Preferences Netbios

Sorry, Netbios support is not currently available.


Change User Preferences Dial

Click on an area to get more information.


Data Compression

Enables/Disables Remotely Possible’s built in data compression algorithm.  Data compression is active for both file transfer and remote control. Enabling this feature will improve performance for virtually all connections.  Leave this feature on even when using modem data compression, or sending compressed files.


Error Correction

Enables/Disables Remotely Possible’s built in error correction algorithm. It is HIGHLY recommended that you leave this setting ON!. Most communication ports are prone to overruns under heavy CPU loads (even 16550 ports). Leaving this feature on will correct any errors that occur due to any condition - including overruns.


Rings to answer on

Determines which ring the modem should automatically answer an incoming call on.


Select modem(s) for incoming calls

This list contains all installed TAPI devices on which an incoming call may be received.  You may select up to 2 lines for incoming calls.  A line is available for an incoming call if the box is checked.  If you need to change the settings for a particular modem, highlight the modem and select the configure button.  Note: Support for communication server hardware is available, please contact your Avalan sales representative. (ex. Digiboard, etc.)


Configure Modem

Select configure to change the modem Communication Port, Port Speed, Flow Control and settings.

When a modem is highlighted and the configure button is selected the Windows 95 TAPI properties screen is displayed.  Remotely Possible/32 interfaces directly with TAPI and supports all Windows 95 TAPI compliant devices.  This screen is also available by selecting Control Panel, Modems then Properties. Note: Remotely Possible requires Hardware Flow Control to be enabled.


Change User Preferences

To change the user preferences for an area select the tab at the top of the Window.  If you change an option during a connection, or while waiting for a connection, you must reconnect or wait for another connection for the new settings to take effect.


Change User Preferences Viewer

Click on an area to get more information.


Auto Pan Mode On

Set by Viewer mode. Provides automatic screen movement by mouse on the Viewer PC. Use this feature to view information on a remote PC that has a larger screen size than your PC.

Example

A Viewer PC with a 640x480 screen resolution that views a Host PC with a 800x600 screen resolution, can pan towards the four sides of the Host PC to view any missing information that does not fit on the Viewer PC screen because of the screen size difference.


Start In Full Screen Mode

Starts the display of the Host PC in a full screen on the Viewer PC instead of in a window.


Redirect Host Printer Port

You can select which printer port on the Host PC to redirect to your printer attached to the Viewer PC.

None

This disables Host printer redirection.

LPT1-LPT4

Selects the printer port on the Host PC to redirect to your local printer attached to the Viewer PC.


To Viewer Printer Port

Select the printer on the Viewer PC that the redirected Host printout is to use


Simultaneous Printing on the Host

In addition to redirecting the printer port to the Viewer you may also request simultaneous printing on the Viewer and the redirected port on the Host PC.


Mouse Exits Remote Control

While the Viewer is actively controlling a Host PC you will notice the upper left corner of the Viewer screen contains a flashing region. This flashing region serves two purposes. It informs the Viewer that the Host's screen is being displayed in remote control mode and also indicates the position on the screen to use to exit remote control using your mouse.

Clicking the right button on your mouse while the cursor is in the blinking region will immediately switch you to your local (Viewer) screen. This is a quick alternative to the keyboard method of pressing Ctrl-Shift-Esc. In the highly unlikely case your application requires a right mouse button click in this region hold down either the Control or Shift key, or click either the left or middle button while clicking the right mouse button. This will transmit the right mouse button click information to the Host PC (along with the corresponding Control/Shift key or left/middle click information).

To disable this feature entirely disable the Mouse exits remote control check-box in the Setup Window. Changing this option during a connection has no effect until the next connection.


Blink During Remote Control

While the Viewer is actively controlling a Host PC you will notice the upper left corner of the Viewer screen contains a flashing region. To disable the blinking indicator disable the Blink during remote control check-box in the Setup Window. Note: Even though you have disabled this feature you may still exit remote control by clicking the right mouse button while positioned in this region. You must disable the Mouse exits remote control option to disable that feature.


Disable Host Wallpaper

Selecting this option will disable the displaying of the Host's wallpaper during a connection. This setting will speed up the remote control session when the Host is using a background wallpaper.


Don't Flash Host Screen

When first connecting to a Host in remote control mode the default behavior is to force all the applications to do a repaint. This results in a "flash" on the screen just before the applications begin to repaint. As the applications repaint the screen we capture all the Windows GDI calls and transmit these to the Viewer.


Use Host's Standard Cursor

By default the Viewer will always use the Host's cursors when remotely controlling a Host PC. If you are on a laptop and have enabled a cursor enhancement program to enlarge your cursors you should disable this option. This will allow laptop users to keep using their modified cursors when controlling a desktop PC with standard Windows cursors. Changing this option during a connection has no effect until the next connection.

Since many of the Cursor Enhancement Programs on the market will modify the display driver line in the system.ini file they may not run properly if you install another program that also modifies the display driver setting in system.ini. The solution is to first install the standard display driver using either of the Windows setup programs provided with Windows, next install Remotely Possible/Sockets and then install the Cursor Enhancement program last. This will insure that the Cursor Enhancement program can find it's video driver.


Blank Host's Screen

Select this option if you want the Host screen blanked during a remote control session.


Disable Host's Keyboard

Select this option if you want the Host keyboard disabled during a remote control session.


Disable Host's Mouse

Select this option if you want the Host mouse disabled during a remote control session.


Disable Host's Remotely Possible Window

Select this option if you want the Host screen disabled during a remote control session.


Monitor Only

Monitor Only disables the Viewer keyboard and mouse during remote control. You may still use your mouse to return to your local machine by pressing the right button while the cursor is in the upper left corner of the screen. You may also toggle this feature to switch from monitor only to full control and back (See Toggle monitor mode).


Toggle Monitor Mode

You may enable/disable monitor only mode on the fly during remote control.  When toggle Monitor Mode is on you can switch between monitor only and full remote control by simultaneously pressing the Shift key and the right mouse button. If you are in monitor only mode you will switch to full remote control. If you are in full remote control mode you will switch to monitor only mode.


Change User Preferences

Click on an area to get more information.


Note

For all Host options - when the Host option is selected, it overrides the Viewer PC selection. If the option is not selected, the Viewer PC makes the decision.


Enable Host Operation

Select this option to enable Host mode for remote control. This option requires the addition or removal of files from the registry, and requires your PC to be rebooted for the changes to take effect.


Hide Remotely Possible

This option will hide the Remotely Possible application the next time it is started.  Caution: The program remains hidden for all session types, therefore a user will not be able to see a File Transfer or Chat session either.  To disable this feature hold the Shift+Ctrl keys down while starting, then set to Don’t hide.


Disable Wallpaper

Selecting this option disables the displaying of the Host's wallpaper during a connection. This setting will speed up the remote control session when the Host is using a background wallpaper.


Viewer Can Monitor Only

In monitor only mode, your keystrokes and mouse movements are not sent to the remote system.  You have no control over the remote system.


Don't Blank Screen

Select this option if you do not want the Host screen blanked during a remote control session.


Use Method 1

Standard Method of screen blanking. If you experience problems, try alternative method.


Use Method 2

Alternative Method of screen blanking. If you experience problems, try standard method.


Change User Preferences

Click on an area to get more information.


Enable Inactivity Timer

The Inactivity Timer will automatically disconnect the session after there is no activity for the time specified. Changing this option during a connection has no effect until the next connection.


Data Compression

Enables/Disables Remotely Possible's built in data compression algorithm.  Data compression is active for both file transfer and remote control. We recommended that you disable this feature on connections residing on the same LAN. Data Compression will improve performance when using dial-up SLIP or PPP connections or routers. Data compression is always controlled by the PC that initiates the connection.


Error Detection Correction

Enables/Disables Remotely Possible's built in error detection and correction protocol. We recommend that you disable Error Detection and Correction unless you suspect problems with your TCP/IP stack. This will increase the performance of Remotely Possible/32 for most TCP/IP connections. Error Detection and Correction are always controlled by the PC that initiates the connection.


Auto Reconnect

This feature is currently not implemented at this time.


Computer Name

This should be a unique name on your Network that Remotely Possible/32 uses to communicate with other PCs on your LAN. This name along with the IP address is displayed by Remotely Possible/32 when browsing the network. You should set this to your IP Host name.


Wait for Connection(s)

Determines the amount of time to wait to complete a connection.


Allow Incoming Calls

Allows your PC to listen for and accept incoming connections. If this is not checked you will not be able to accept incoming connections via TCP/IP.


Allow Multiple Incoming Connections

This button cancels the current file transfer and returns to the normal File Transfer window.


Options

This button selects file synchronization and user confirmation options.


Freshen And Copy New Files

Combination of Freshen existing files and Copy new files options only. You may also select both Freshen and Copy new files together. This option will only transfer files that are newer or didn't previously exist in the destination directory.


Leave Filtered Files in Queue

If a file is not transferred for any reason the file remains in the files list to allow you to change the destination name or to correct a problem on the destination system.

However you may also have Remotely Possible/32 remove any file from the queued file list even if it has not been sent. Select the Remove filtered files from queue option. This will cause any filtered files to be removed from the list when not sent. We recommend that you leave this setting alone to see which files have been sent and that have not been sent. Otherwise you will have to check the destination directories to determine which files were transmitted.


No Confirmation

All files are transferred without any user confirmation. Existing files are overwritten with new files.


Confirm on Replace Only

A confirmation message is displayed before overwriting any existing files.


Confirm All Files

You may have Remotely Possible/32 prompt you before replacing any file by selecting Confirm on replace only, or before each transmission by selecting Confirm all files.

A confirmation message is displayed before transferring each file, whether it is being replaced or not.


Transfer All Files

All files in the queued files list are transferred from the source to the destination.


Freshen Existing Files Only

Only newer files are transferred. If the source file has a newer date than the destination file it is transferred. If the source file is older than the destination file or if it doesn't exist on the destination it is not transferred. You may also direct Remotely Possible/32 to Freshen existing files only, which will only transfer files that have a later date or time.


Copy New Files Only

Only files that do not exist on the destination system are transferred. If a file exists on the destination it is not transferred. It can also Copy new files only, which will not replace any existing file with the same name but will only add new files to the destination's directory.


Refresh

Updates the file entries to show new files, dates, times, and deletions.


Rename File

This is the file rename window. You may enter a valid path on the destination system. If the pathname is not valid you will receive an error when the file transfer is attempted. After entering a new name press OK or press Cancel to keep the current destination name.

Enter the new file name here.  The file will be renamed to this name after copying the file. You should enter the full pathname of the file, not just the file name.

Common Problems

This section describes the most common problems that may occur during the operation of Remotely Possible/32.

Colors do not match the Host

Solution:

•	When you run a different number of colors on the Host and Viewer, the colors are converted by the video driver to whatever is closest on the color palette.  This may cause some color distortion.  If you do not want the colors to be mapped, run the same number of colors on both the Host and Viewer.

Fatal Exception 0D during Windows 95 boot

Solution:

•	Remove any other remote control programs from the PC before installing Remotely Possible.  (Ex. Reachout, PCAnywhere )

Performance

Solution: (TCP/IP)

•	Enable Data Compression over a Dialup PPP connection. Under the Change User Preferences - TCP/IP Identification Tab.

•	Do not use Error Correction unless you have a poor TCP/IP connection.

•	Disable the Host Wallpaper by selecting Change User Preferences - Viewer or Host Identification tab.

•	Lower the number of colors used  to 256 or 16.

Solution: (Dial)

•	Enable both Data Compression and Error Correction.

•	Disable the Host Wallpaper by selecting Change User Preferences - Viewer or Host Identification tab.

•	When connecting to Remotely Possible/Dial 16 bit version, turn off Data Compression.

•	Use a higher speed modem.  A 28.8k modem will give the best performance.

Performance during Microsoft Word for Windows 6.x and 7.x.

When Microsoft Word is set to View - Page Layout, you may experience a delay during a Dial connection when typing.  To increase the performance in this area use the following guidelines:

•	 Select View - Normal

•	 Begin typing until you see an increase in performance

•	 Select View - Page Layout

•	 Typing should resume at the previous speed

When controlling Word 6.x or 7.x with a 16-bit Viewer you may experience slow typing responses during dial connections.  For optimum performance you should use Remotely Possible/32 running on Windows 95 as your Viewer .


Error Messages

Error, unable to connect to remote PC. <Additional error information>

Please refer to the error code that is displayed in the <Additional error information>.

Solution (TCP/IP):

Be sure you have the TCP/IP installed and configured properly on your PC.

Check to see if you can ping the address you are trying to connect to.

If you are not using DNS, setup a HOSTS table.

Incorrect Login Name.

Solution: Recheck the RP Login Name and RP Login Password in the Connect to Remote screen.  Make sure there is an appropriate entry in the Edit Access Codes, on the PC you are trying to connect to.

Sending connect request via timer.

Solution: Make sure the PC you are calling is Listening for a Call.  This message is displayed when the remote PC is not responding to the connect request.

Timed out waiting for response.

Solution: The remote PC did not respond to the connection request.  Make sure the PC you are calling is Listening for a Call.  If you are running TCP/IP, try to PING the address that is not responding.

Software Compatibility

Performance during Microsoft Word for Windows 6.x and 7.x.

When Microsoft Word is set to View - Page Layout, you may experience a delay during a Dial connection when typing.  To increase the performance in this area use the following guidelines:

•	 Select View - Normal

•	 Begin typing until you see an increase in performance

•	 Select View - Page Layout

•	 Typing should resume at the previous speed

When controlling Word 6.x or 7.x with a 16-bit Viewer you may experience slow typing responses during dial connections. For optimum performance you should use Remotely Possible/32 running on Windows 95 as your Viewer.

16-bit TCP/IP Stacks.

We have seen problems using a 16-bit TCP/IP stack with 32-bit TCP/IP applications which use Windows Sockets.  We strongly recommend using a TCP/IP stack designed for 32-bit versions of Windows.

•	Provides callback to a programmed address

•	Provides optional logins

•	Provides multiple access levels to prevent unauthorized access

•	Provides keyboard, mouse, and screen disabling


Access Codes

Access Codes allow you to define who has access to your PC, and are intended for incoming connections to your PC. Access Codes maintain a database of passwords and user names that authorize access. With Access Codes, you can limit access to your PC to certain users, and also limit access to certain functions such as receive files only or remote control only.

The Access Codes function is the heart of the security system within Remotely Possible/32. If you are setting up your system to place outgoing calls only, you do not need to use the Access Codes function. You can assign access levels for your PC on a per-user basis. For example, you can allow all users Chat access, some users access to remote control, and limit file transfer to send only. You may also enable call-back security, which lets you enter an IP Address for your PC to call back.  A  caller must be at the callback address when connecting.
