Symantec 14541094 - pcAnywhere Host & Remote, User Manual

Page: 134 / 313

If the encryption level of the remote computer is different than the encryption
level that was configured for the host, pcAnywhere automatically lowers the
encryption level of the computer with the higher encryption level to match the
encryption of the computer with the lower encryption level. For example, if the
host encryption level is configured for pcAnywhere encoding and the remote
encryption level is configured for symmetric encryption, pcAnywhere
automatically lowers the remote's encryption level to pcAnywhere encoding.
Symantec pcAnywhere also lets you deny the connection if the host is using a
lower level of encryption.
Editing the Quick Deploy and Connect host properties
The Quick Deploy and Connect host configurations for Windows, Linux, and Mac
OS X contain the minimum settings that are needed to support a Quick Deploy
and Connect remote control session. After you configure the Quick Deploy and
Connect host for initial use, pcAnywhere uses these default settings for future
Quick Deploy and Connect sessions. Symantec pcAnywhere lets you edit these
settings using the configuration wizard.
See “ Configuring a host to run on Windows using Quick Deploy and Connect”
