Master for Windows

If the Web Console user is running Windows, the Master will be delivered to and run (but not installed) on the Web Console user’s desktop.  A progress window will appear to show status of the download process.
 
When the download is completed, the Master will automatically attempt to establish a connection with the selected Host through the Gateway.  If successful, a view of the Host desktop will be displayed in a Master Connection  Window.  A menu bar of commands and configuration options appear along the top, and sub tabs for each service enabled for this Host are along the bottom.  Below is an example of the Windows Master Connection Window, with Remote Control (Input Control), File Transfer, Remote Printing and Remote Management services enabled.
 
Below is a table of menu bar icons available in the Master for Windows Connection window:
