- What is Radmin?
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Radmin is a remote control program that lets you work on another
- computer remotely through your own. You see the remote computer's
- screen in a resizable window on your own monitor or as the full
- screen. Your mouse and keyboard control the remote computer so you
- can work on the remote computer just as if you were sitting right at
- it.
-
- The remote computer can be anywhere on the Internet or in your local
- network. You don't need a fast network connection. Even with a MODEM
- the screen update speed is an acceptable 5-10 screen updates per
- second. If the remote computer is on your LOCAL NETWORK the typical
- speed is from 100 to 500 screen updates per second.
-
- Often while working in Radmin's full-screen mode, you forget that you
- are working on a REMOTE computer!
-
- Radmin consists of two parts:
-
- * The server on the remote computer that sends the remote
- computer's screen display.
- * The clientùalso called the viewerùthat shows the remote screen
- display on your own monitor.
-
- To get started you need to run Radmin server on the remote computer.
- Then run Radmin client on your own computer. The current version of
- Radmin requires a TCP/IP connection between both computers, so you'll
- need to set this up if they are not already connected.
-
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- What makes it different from other systems?
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The speed: Radmin is much faster than every other remote control system
- available. For example, we tested the widely used VNCá(AT&T's Virtual
- Network Computing) and found that Radmin is 150 times faster!
-
- Radmin outperforms every other known remote control system, including
- pcAnywhere, Timbuktu, Remote Control, LapLink, etc.
-
- The test was performed on:
- Server: 800 X 600 65535 colors, running Windows NT 4.0 Service
- pack 4
- Client: 800 X 600 256 colors, running Windows 95
- Ethernet 10 Mbit local network.
-
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Features
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Run as a Service
- Radmin server can work as a SERVICE under Win9X/ME/NT4.0/2000.
- This lets you log a user on or off remotely.
-
- Multiple Connections Support
- Radmin server supports simultaneous multiple connections to the same
- remote screen.
-
- Full-Screen, Scaled and Windowed View Modes
- Full-screen mode shows the remote screen full-size on your own monitor
- Scaled mode lets you see the remote screen in a window on your monitor
- scaled to the remote screen's defined size.
-
- Video Hook Driver Technology is Used
- Radmin uses video hook kernel mode drivers under Windows NT to capture
- screen changes. This boosts the speed to hundreds of screen updates per
- second.
-
- File Transfer
- Lets you transfer files easily between computers with Windows Explorer
- like interface.
-
- Remote Shutdown
- Now you don't have to connect in the Full Control mode.
-
- Telnet Server
- Radmin server provides Telnet access to remote computers (except on
- Win9x).
-
- Windows NT Security Support
- You can allow remote control, remote view, telnet and file transfer
- access to specific users or user groups from an NT domain. If a user
- logged into a WinNT domain connects to Radmin server, the user's
- current username/password are employed by Radmin viewer to authorize
- a connection to the Radmin server.
-
- Password Protection
- If Windows NT security support is switched off, access to a remote
- computer is controlled by a password. Radmin uses a challenge-response
- password authentication method based on 128 bit strong encryption.
-
- 128 Bit Strong Encryption of All Data Streams.
- In the version 2.1 encryption is always enabled, it causes just 5%
- performance loss.
-
- IP Filter
- Allows an access to the Radmin server only from specified IP addresses
- and subnets.
-
- Radmin Supports High-Resolution Modes
- Display resolutions up to 2048 X 2048 X 32 bit color are supported by
- Radmin.
-
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- System requirements.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- No special requirements for hardware:
- If your computer can run Windows 95 or higher, the program will run.
- It even runs on a 386 with 8 MB RAM.
-
- NOTE: Radmin still operates successfully when the display, mouse and
- keyboard are disconnected from the remote computer, however some
- computers do not boot successfully without a keyboard plugged in.
-
- For All Operating Systems (Win9x/ME/NT/2000):
- The computer must have TCP/IP installed, the most-used protocol for
- networking computers.
-
- Windows NT 4.0:
- Service pack 4 or higher is required.
-
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Installation.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Two computers need to be connected by TPC/IP, either on a local network
- or the Internet.
- Radmin must be installed on each computer.
-
- Before Installation For All Users:
- Uninstall any earlier version of Radmin, before installing a newer
- version.
-
- For Windows 2000 Users:
-
- * You need administrator rights to install Radmin Server as a service.
-
- For Windows NT 4.0 Users:
-
- * You need administrator rights to install Radmin Server as a service
- and install the driver.
- * Before installing Radmin's video hook driver be sure that any
- other Remote Control software that uses video hook driver
- technology has been removed.
- Running more than one video hook driver can lead to a system crash
- while booting.
- Sample applications that use a video hook driver: NetMeeting 3.0+,
- SMS, Timbuktu.
- If a problem occurs while booting with the Radmin driver, you can
- pressáthe '1' (number one) key repeatedly during booting and the
- Radmin driver will not load.
-
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Radmin Security
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- A lot of attention was paid to security issues in the Radmin design
- from the outset. Here are some reasons that Radmin's operations are
- completely secure:
-
-
- * Radmin 2.1 supports Windows NT/2000 user level security. You
- can allow remote control to specific users or user groups.
- * If Windows NT security support is switched off, access to a
- remote computer is restricted by password. Remote Administrator
- uses a challenge-response password authentication method. This
- method is similar to the authentication method used in Windows
- NT, but uses more powerful security keys.
- * Remote Administrator has an encrypted mode, where all data,
- including screen images, mouse movements and keypresses are
- encrypted. 128 bit Twofish encryption is used. Twofish crypto
- is distinguished for its combination of speed, flexibility and
- conservative design.
- * Remote Administrator server has a logging feature. All actions
- are written to the log file.
- * Remote Administrator server has an IP filter table that
- restricts
- remote access to IP addresses and networks you specify.
- * Remote Administrator has a self testing code defence that
- protects the code from being altered.
