Key Words
PCAnywhere, remote control, Windows Remote Desktop
First, the software introduction
PCAnywhere11.5 is a well-known product of Symantec, which works with all versions of the Windows operating system, and supports multiple connections such as modem dialing, port/serial port direct connection, TCP/IP, NetBIOS network protocol, and so on. The use and management of the software is more flexible, users can according to their own needs to install the main control or the end of the software, according to the need to be in the control of the end of the various connections under the remote control scheme, and according to different users to assign different levels of permissions. In terms of security performance, Pcany where provides a variety of authentication methods and encryption methods, users can directly use the user database on the network authentication remote connection, can also create a separate remote control account, as required to choose the way to encrypt data, to ensure that the data in the process of transmission is not stolen.

, installation
There is nothing special about the pcanywhere installation process, and no prior setup is required. One thing to understand is that pcanywhere is currently divided into full,host and remote versions, can be installed according to the actual need to choose a different version.
Third, the configuration is controlled end
The first thing we need to do to really get pcanywhere to control a remote computer is to configure the managed computer. Set the method as follows:
1. In the Manager window, click Host to display the access methods that are available to the control side, including the "Direct", "Modem", "Network, CABLE,DSL" options by default. , "direct" refers to a direct cable that we use less. "Modem" refers to dial-up access, you can connect to the remote computer through the modem, "NETWORK,CABLE,DSL" refers to access through the network card.
2. If we want to customize the configuration of the controlled-end computer, it can be added through the actions of add, but the use of the "wizard" way to establish a bit cumbersome, the author likes to use a copy of the way to establish the connection project.
3. Select the connection item you want to configure, and right-click the Properties pop-up Configuration window.
• Connection information: Refers to the protocol used when establishing a connection. Generally, the default is to select TCP/IP, we can choose the appropriate protocol according to the actual needs, this article takes the most common TCP/IP protocol as an example.
• Settings: In remote control, the controlled side can only establish security mechanism to effectively protect its own system from being corrupted by malicious control.
where "Launch with Windows" and "Run Minimized" refer to the configuration of the controlled side, we can decide whether to start the pcanywhere and minimize the pcanywhere the next time the computer is started. This is an option that can be checked;
After an abnormal end of sessions (after the session is terminated) refers to whether the connection is aborted (for example, when a connection is suddenly interrupted), or if it waits for the next connection;
After the normal end of sessions (after the session normally ends), we can set whether to exit pcanywhere or wait for the next connection when a connection session is finished properly;
"and secure by (and protected with the following methods)" means to protect native security, we can choose to lock the user, not allow other controllers to log on, restart the computer, and so on.
• Caller: Refers to the user account and password that can be created to connect to this computer. In this setting, you can set up a new user name and login password, as well as the appropriate permissions, by clicking the "New Item" button, setting up a dialog box for new users, and setting up the user's username and logon code. Click OK to save.
• Security options: Refers to the security policy that can be set on this machine.
In which, "Connection options" includes the setting of the successful connection, we can choose whether to clear the display on the computer screen (connected to the PC black screen), whether after a certain period of time to confirm whether the connection is still valid (prompted to confirm the connection);
Login options can limit the number and time to log on to the computer, and the default is that everyone is allowed to log on only three times, and each time it takes to log on is 3 minutes;
Session options can choose whether to restrict the use of the mouse and keyboard of the remote computer and the local computer after the connection is successful.
• Meeting: Pcanywhere supports running as a meeting, allowing multiple master-side users to connect simultaneously and view the activities on the controlled side. The meeting is controlled by the first connected master caller remotely, and other callers can connect and view the managed session but cannot control the operation on the managed computer. (This is relatively strong for Windows Remote Desktop, which allows multiple main controls to control the controlled side simultaneously and does not affect each other)
• Protection item: Allows you to type a password to protect the currently set of the managed-port option, and any attempt to view or change the managed-end option will require a password to confirm.
When all the above properties are configured, click OK to complete the managed-end settings.
4. Right-click the managed-end icon, select "Start Host", and the managed end will start and display a computer-shaped icon on the system tray and start waiting for the remote-controlled master to connect. When a user connects remotely, the icon changes color.
Iv. Configuring the main control terminal
Set up the controlled side, we have to do another very important task is to configure the host computer. With the above configuration experience, this setting is much easier:
1. In the Manager window, click Remotes, through which we can complete the settings for the master-side Connection project.
2. Select the connection item you want to configure, and right-click the Properties pop-up Configuration window. There are five tabs in the dialog box for us to set up.
• Connection information: Setup options are basically the same as the settings on the controlled side, except that the host can only select one connection, and on the tab, you can also set "Start mode" such as the checkbox "File transfer". When selected, it can be reached directly into the file transfer interface when connected to the controlled end, without the effect of entering the remote operation interface.
• Settings: Used to configure remote connection options.
Where: The controlled network-controlled PC or IP address is populated with the host name or IP address of the remote computer under control.
"Controlled controlled-end PC phone number" If the remote computer uses modem dialing calls, the remote computer's phone number will be filled in here.
"Login Information" connected automatically login to the controlled end, add a complete login information, you can save login to the remote controlled end of the required user account and password, and realize automatic login.
• Automation task: Used to set up automation tasks that use this connection. This feature is weakened in a new version of 11.5. The main point is that you can record the operation of the remote control process and replay the view when needed.
• Security options: Used to set the encryption level used by the host during remote control, which is not encrypted by default. You can choose to use a symmetric key, public key, or pcanywhere encryption as you want, where pcanywhere encryption combines the two previous encryption techniques with the advantages of speed and security.
• Protection item: The function is the same as the managed-end setting, and is not introduced here.
3. When you have finished setting up, double-click the icon in the main control window, Pcanywhere begins to try to connect to the remote managed computer as set. When the connection is successful, it will enter the remote operation interface or file transfer interface as required, and you can remotely control the computer as if it were a local computer in the remote operating interface.
Five, function introduction
Introduced so much, now only to the point, this section describes pcanywhere in the remote control of some features.
5.1 File Transfer
File transfer function can be said to be the most unique feature of pcanywhere. File transfer plays a very important role in remote control. Remote users can temporarily suspend remote operation while transmitting files remotely, making the file transmission lines more stable. In addition, Pcanywhere provides a way to sync folders to transfer files, as well as automating tasks that allow software to connect to a remote computer at a specified time, by a user's settings, for a specified file transfer operation or to synchronize a specified folder.
If you want to transfer files remotely, you can click the toolbar "file Transfer" button and select the file name in the list on the left of the pop-up File Transfer dialog box, and then click the Transfer button to transfer the selected file to the managed computer remotely.
5.2 Connection Rate Optimization
The connection rate also plays a decisive role in the remote control software. PCAnywhere in the default configuration, although the connection rate is not as good as Windows Remote Desktop, but the optimization scheme provided by it does have a great effect, for the pursuit of the connection rate of users is quite happy. At the same time, the stability of pcanywhere connection is very excellent in similar software.
Invoke the main Menu "Edit/preferences/remote Operation" page. Parameters that can be adjusted:
"ColorScale" can select the color level displayed by the master, and in the list box you can choose a color level that fits the speed of the network connection, or simply a scheme that sacrifices the color level in exchange for the connection rate.
The option of "narrowing the managed-side desktop area to match the master" can also increase the connection rate.
"Disable Active Desktop on the managed side" To disable Windows Active Desktop.
Managed-Desktop optimization, which disables the screensaver, wallpaper, and power management options of the managed computer that may be wasting network bandwidth.
5.3 Transfer Clipboard
During the remote control process, we often use the Clipboard feature to copy the Clipboard contents of the main control to the managed end. Windows Remote Desktop can be done simply by using CTRL + C and CTRL + V, that is, clipboard sharing. But Pcanywhere's realization of this function is somewhat complicated.
It needs to be implemented through the "Transfer Clipboard" button on the remote operator interface. After clicking on two options, you can choose to "transfer the contents of the Clipboard to your clipboard" or "Transfer your clipboard contents to the managed Clipboard" to copy the Clipboard contents.
5.4 Remote Chat
In the Instant messaging software hot Today, we may feel that the function of remote chat is superfluous, on the contrary, we have to admire Symantec company to the user's thoughtfulness, in many cases, this function for the communication between the two sides plays a very important role.
5.5 Cycle Control
We may encounter the fact that we have to remotely control a computer (a), but a has no public IP, that is, we can not access to a, but a on the local network of another computer (B) we have access to. Then we can use the following solution to solve this problem. We have the Pcan Ywhere program on both computers A and B, we can control computer B remotely and then control a by pcanywhere program on B. We know that Windows Remote Desktop is not able to do this.
5.6 Log off the computer
In pcanywhere, if you need to press the "Ctrl+alt+del" key combination on the managed computer, you cannot operate directly on the master computer, but you need to click the Send Ctrl+alt+del button on the remote operator interface.
5.7 does not support multiple users
One of the more regrettable pcanywhere is that multiple users are not supported, that is, multiple end users are not allowed to control the managed side at the same time (only allow multiple host users to connect simultaneously and view the controlled activity.) , and Windows Remote Desktop solves this problem well.
When we are connected to the end of the connection, see the following prompt interface is, we have to find the user has logged in, let it out, and then log in.
