To notify the host user when a remote user attempts to connect, check Prompt
to confirm connection, and then select the number of seconds in which the
host user has to respond to the prompt.
If the timeout period expires, the connection is canceled.

To protect the host by serializing connections, check Assign serial ID to limit
host connections, and then type the serial number that you want to use.
This embeds a serial ID in the host configuration. Serial IDs must be a numeric
value between 0 and 4,294,967,296.
Remote users must have the same serial ID embedded in their remote
configuration for the host to accept the connection.
For more information about serialization, see the Symantec pcAnywhere
Administrator's Guide.

If you want the host to dock to a computer that is running Symantec
pcAnywhere Access Server, check Dock to a pcAnywhere Access Server.
If you select this option, the wizard will later prompt you for the information
that is needed to connect to the access server.
See “Connecting through pcAnywhere Gateway or pcAnywhere Access Server”
on page 108.
