Start multiple sessions
You can manage multiple computers using the Remote Control feature. However, the
more computers you include in the session, the larger the bandwidth over the network.
Open a separate Remote Control window for each managed computer. Right-click
each computer and select Remote Control. A new window appears for each
selected computer.
Open a Remote Control window for a group of managed computers. Right-click a
computer group icon and select Remote Control.
The Remote Control Options dialog appears with options to Control each client
separately in its own window or to Control all clients together. If you select to
control clients separately, individual windows appear for each computer. If you
select to control clients together, you are asked to select a master computer.
The Master Computer is the computer that appears in the Remote Control window,
but all operations performed from the Master Computer's console also run on the
other computers in the group. All computers in the group should be similar in
configuration to work properly.
Note
If you are controlling multiple computers in a single window, you can send a file only
between the console and the master client. If you want to send a file to multiple
clients at the same time, use the Copy File to feature. See
page 188.
To end a Remote Control session, click Control > Close Window.
