6: Remote System Control
Basic Remote Console Operation
When the Remote Console window is open, there are three key zones:
Outside the Remote Console window, interaction is with the local computer’s operating system or applications.
Inside the Remote Console window’s viewport, interaction is with the target computer.
Inside the Remote Console window but outside the viewport, interaction is with the Remote Console control functions such as the toolbar or scroll bars.
Figure 6-2 Remote Console Window
Within the Remote Console viewport, interaction with the remote computer is generally the same as if there were a direct connection (with a minor lag due to network latency). Windows may be opened, applications run, settings changed, maintenance functions performed, even system reboots performed. Powering down the target computer results in powering down the Spider device or SpiderDuo unless the redundant supply is used.
