Option
Host invitation
Quick Deploy and Connect
You can start a connection in one of the following modes:
Remote control
Remote management
Description
You can set up a host invitation that contains the information
that the host user needs to connect to your computer. After
the host user accepts the invitation and the connection is
established, you can take control of the host computer.
You can use this option to connect to a computer on your
network that does not have a pcAnywhere host running.
See
" Connecting to a computer that does not have a host
running"
on page 124.
Lets you control a host computer remotely and work as though
you are sitting in front of it.
During a remote control session, video and data are transferred
between the host computer and the remote computer. The host
computer handles all of the processing of the requests that are
sent by the remote. Only the input and output information (for
example, keyboard, mouse, and video information) are transferred
between the computers.
Because only minimal data needs to be transferred between each
computer, remote control results in faster performance than
other forms of remote networking and minimizes the risk of
losing data.

"Ways to start a remote control session"
Lets you remotely administer a host computer using common
administrator tools (such as the Task Manager, Command Prompt,
and Registry Editor).
Remote management mode lets you quickly troubleshoot and
resolve problems on a host computer without the overhead of a
full remote control session. A remote management session uses
less bandwidth than a full remote control session because only
the data needs to be transferred between the host and remote
computers.
