Letting multiple remote users hold a conference
End the session.
See
"Ending a host session"
When you start a session, a host icon appears on the system tray on your Windows
desktop. Unless security measures are in place to lock the keyboard and mouse
on the host computer, you can use the host online menu to display status
information and end a session.
You can also see information about who is connected to the host computer. This
includes the following information:
Duration of session
User name
Type of connection (such as TCP/IP) and the device name
For example, for TCP/IP connections, pcAnywhere provides the remote
computer name as specified in Windows.
To access the host online menu
On the desktop, on the system tray, right-click the host icon.
To view information about who is connected
On the desktop, on the system tray, move the cursor over the host icon.
Conferencing lets multiple remote users connect to a single host and
simultaneously view what is happening on the host screen. For example, you can
host a conference to conduct a software training demonstration.
A conference is basically a remote control session, except that multiple remote
users connect to the host at the same time. The first caller can connect using any
connection device. However, subsequent callers must use a TCP/IP network
connection. The first remote user to establish a connection controls the host.
Other users can view the activity on the host screen, but cannot take control of
the host.
Note: All participants in the host conference must select the low bandwidth
optimization setting. This setting is available in the remote connection item's
Properties window on the Connection Info tab.
