3. Conducting a Remote Session
3.2 Remote Session Toolbar
The NetCommander IP provides a toolbar that allows a remote session to be manipulated. The features on the toolbar allow you to toggle
between accessible ports, adjust the video settings of the remote session, align the local and remote mouse pointers, etc.. When a remote
session is initiated, the toolbar is displayed briefly in the top-center of the screen, and then collapses to display only a thin bar. To expand
the toolbar, simply move the mouse pointer over the blue bar at the top-center of the screen. The following sections describe the features
available in the remote session toolbar, and how they are used.
