PC-Duo Host runs as a Windows service whenever you start up your computer. It can be configured to accept connections from a PC-Duo Master user in two different ways:
u"Peer-to-peer connections" between a Master computer and a Host computer. With these connections, authentication and authorization are enforced by the PC-Duo Host.
u"Gateway-managed connections" between a Master computer and a Host computer through a PC-Duo Gateway. With these connections, authentication and authorization are enforced by the PC-Duo Gateway.
NOTE: By default, PC-Duo Host allows PC-Duo Master users who belong to the Host computer’s Administrators group (a Windows group) full access to control the Host computer and to configure the PC-Duo Host Control Panel window for the Host computer. In addition, the default Gateway user account RemoteControlGateway also has full access. Other PC-Duo Master users must be added (see the “Security tab”) in order to have access to the Host.
PC-Duo Host includes a Control Panel application to configure all of the Host settings, and other functionality accessible via the system tray area.
