System Keys Not Passed Through to Client Using Remote Control

MORE INFORMATION

Passing Regular Keystrokes to a Client

When the Quick Windows Viewer window is active, your keystrokes are passed to the client computer running Windows versions 3.1 or 3.11. The client processes these keystrokes as if you are typing them on the client's keyboard.

Passing System Keystrokes to a Client

To allow system keystrokes to be passed through to the remote control client, choose the System Key Pass Through option in the control parameters. By default, the following keystrokes are not passed:

• CTRL+ALT+DELETE
• CTRL+ESC
• ALT+TAB
• Special hot key sequences you define using the Quick Windows Viewer control menu window.

On clients running MS-DOS, the ALT key is not passed if Keyboard Stuffing is set to Interrupt Driven.
