Configuring ActiveX for Remote Control

To configure PC-Duo ActiveX Remote Control, you edit the file RCviewer.asp, which is located in the folder

HelpDeskServer\CensusWeb\Views
     \CensusWebVD\RC\RCViewer.asp

RCViewer.asp contains a number of variables that allow you set options and defaults.

After you customize RCViewer.asp, copy the file to

HelpDeskServer\CensusWeb\CUSTOMIZEDFILES
     \#Project#helpdesk\RC

This ensures that the next time you generate a Web view, the customized copy of RCViewer.asp is copied to the output folder.

DEFAULT_SECURITY_KEY

Specifies the security key used by PC-Duo ActiveX Remote Control when it connects to clients.

The ActiveX control does not support licensing, so you cannot type an asterisk to use the license key serial number as the security key.

DEFAULT_COMPRESS

Enables (1) and disables (0) compression. By default, compression is disabled.

DEFAULT_ENCRYPT

Enables (1) and disables (0) encryption. The encryption type is 56-bit DES encryption. By default, encryption is disabled.

DEFAULT_SCALE_TO_FIT

Specifies whether the remote screen is scaled to fit in the browse window when the remote control session starts. Set to 0 to turn off scaling.

Users can turn on scaling after the remote control session starts by selecting the Scale to Fit check box.

DEFAULT_SCROLL_BARS

Specifies whether the view window has scroll bars when the remote control session starts. Set to 0 to turn off scroll bars.

Users can turn on scroll bars after the remote control session starts (by selecting the Scroll Bars check box).

DEFAULT_VIEW_TYPE

Specifies the default viewing mode (Watch, Share, or Control). Users can change the viewing mode after the remote control session starts.

DEFAULT_INIT

Specifies the name displayed by the PC-Duo Client during a remote control session. Allows the remote users to identify who is controlling their computer. “*” means use the computer name.
