Sender GUI

The Sender for Windows registers an HP Remote Graphics Software icon in the application tray. On Windows the icon animates when Receivers are connected to the Sender. By right clicking on the icon, the user can display the Sender GUI

and select one of the following options:

∙"Remote Keyboard/Mouse --> Enable or Disable" - If "Disable" is selected, all non-primaryusers are in "view-only" mode. Only the primary user, the user that is logged into the desktop, will control the remote desktop remotely using the Receiver. If "Enable" is selected, all users connected to the Sender can interact with the remote desktop. All keyboard and mouse activity will be injected into the Sender allowing non-primary users control of the remote desktop.

∙"Disconnect --> Non-Primary Users or All Users" – disconnects receiver sessions for either non-primary users or all users.

∙"Help" displays the Remote Graphics Help system.

∙"About" displays Remote Graphics program information.

Manually Starting & Stopping the Sender

By default the Sender installs as a Windows Service and configures to automatically start on system startup. The user can control Windows Services by accessing the "Services" panel. The "Services" panel can be accessed from the Windows "Control Panel" and selecting "Administrative Tools".

The following diagram shows the Administrative Tool for Services. The Remote Graphics Sender is highlighted. The status of the service is "started" and the service is configured to startup automatically. By right clicking on the Sender, the service can be stopped, started, or resumed. Additionally, the properties of the service can be controlled such as the start-up type, and the recovery mode.
