Symantec 14541094 - pcAnywhere Host & Remote, User Manual

Page: 124 / 313

Ending a remote control session
Either the host or remote user can end a session. Ending a session returns you to
the main Symantec pcAnywhere window.
If you are connected to a computer that runs Windows, the end of session options
that are configured for the host connection item determine whether the host waits
for another connection or is canceled. The caller rights that are configured for
the host connection item determine whether the remote user is allowed to cancel
the host.
To end a remote control session
1 In the Session Manager window, on the left navigation bar, under Session
Manager, click End Session.
2
In the confirmation window, click Yes.
If you have permission to restart the host computer, you can choose whether
the host should accept other connections or cancel the host by restarting the
computer.
Connecting to a computer that does not have a host
running
Quick Deploy and Connect lets you deploy a thin version of a pcAnywhere host
to a computer or group of computers on your network, and then immediately
connect. The host computer does not need to have a host running or have
pcAnywhere installed.
You can connect to computers that run the Windows, Linux, or Mac OS X operating
systems. In Windows, the host computer must be unlocked and a user must be
logged on. In Linux and Mac OS X, you can deploy and connect to a host computer
that is not logged on.
The host that you deploy using Quick Deploy and Connect has a minimal
installation footprint and does not require a system restart for installation. The
Quick Deploy and Connect feature provides limited remote control functionality
and is intended for temporary connections.
Before you deploy the host, ensure that the computer to which you are connecting
meets the system requirements.
See “Connecting to a computer using Quick Deploy and Connect” on page 125.
