Locking the host from the guest

With the permission of the host computer, you can:

Blank the host screen The host’s screen is darkened, preventing your work from being viewed at the host.

• Disable the host mouse The host’s mouse is locked, preventing anyone at the host from using the mouse to interrupt your work.

• Disable the host keyboard The host’s keyboard is locked, preventing anyone at the host from using the keyboard to interrupt your work.

To lock the host during a Remote Control session:

•On the Session menu, click any of these commands to place a check mark beside the command: Blank Host Screen, Lock Host Mouse, or Lock Host Keyboard.

•To disable locking, click the command again to clear the check mark.

TIP If a command is dimmed, it is not available: either the host cannot perform the action, or the security setup of the host computer does not allow it. Support for screen blank- ing is determined by test performed after the installation of LapLink Gold Corporate, and after any changes to the Windows display settings.

TIP The Session menu is available only when you are connected to another computer.

TIP Through the Address Book, you can request the kinds of locking you want to take effect as soon as you open a Remote Control session. Your requests will be honored as long as they are allowed by the host. For infor- mation on using the Address Book to make connections, see ”Using the Address Book.
