PC-Duo connection types

PC-Duo services are performed over service connections between a PC-Duo Master
(with appropriate access rights) and a PC-Duo Host. Service connections are established
on demand, when a PC-Duo Master requests a service from a PC-Duo Host.
PC-Duo supports several different types of remote access connections:
PC-Duo Connection Types
Peer-to-peer connections
Gateway-managed connections
Firewall-friendly connections
Terminal services connections
VNC connections

RDP compatibility: Follow the active session

PC-Duo connections can be used to share an active RDP session in real-time.
If PC-Duo Host is running on a desktop-class operating system (e.g. Windows XP or
Vista), and there is an active/connected RDP session being hosted on that computer,
then the Host will automatically capture and provide input control to that RDP session. In
essence, the Host will capture what the remote RDP session user is seeing, not what the
local physical console on that machine is showing (probably the Windows login screen).
When there is no active/connected RDP session being hosted on that computer, or if an
active/connected RDP session is stopped, the Host will automatically capture and provide
input control to the session running on the computer and being displayed on the local
console. The Host will follow the active session as it moves from RDP user back to the
local console.
Note: This feature only applies to desktop-class operating systems, which support only
one active session at a time. Server-class operating systems (e.g. Windows Server 2003
or Server 2008) can support multiple sessions simultaneously via Terminal Services; use
the Terminal Services support in the Host to capture and/or provide input control to one
or more sessions on server-class OS.

Wake-on-LAN support

PC-Duo can be used to "wake-up" remote computers that have been shut down
(sleeping, hibernating, or soft off; i.e., ACPI state G1 or G2), with power reserved for the
network card, but not disconnected from its power source. The network card listens for a
specific packet containing its MAC address, called the magic packet, that is broadcast on
the subnet or LAN.
In order to execute this feature, both the MAC address and the last known IP address of
the remote computer must be known. Since the PC-Duo Gateway knows both of these
pieces of information, it is in a position to send the Wake-on-LAN signal.
