to 8700i PC Remote at any one time.
Operation Using the Keyboard
In general, PC Remote uses standard Windows conventions for navigation.
Navigate around the screens using the TAB key. Use CTRL-TAB to move to the next
tabbed screen in PC Remote.
Use the

and

keys on the numeric keypad to adjust control settings.
To Quit the Program
Use standard Windows conventions: Press ALT-F4 on the keyboard, or click the X on
the upper right corner with the mouse.
Also, please note the following behavior:

If you close the PC Remote connection from the PC, you will be given the choice
of staying connected through the ppp or disconnecting.

If you close the connection from PC Remote but choose not to close the ppp con-
nection, the E
ND
PC R
EMOTE
button will remain displayed on the 8700i’s front
panel. If you then select that button, the ppp connection will close.
This behavior ensures that a user can tell from the 8700i’s front panel if a remote
connection is active. Users can disconnect the PC connection at the 8700i if they
wish. This minimizes the likelihood of someone’s leaving a connection open while
someone else tries to access that 8700i.
