Last minute notes and changes: ============================== Note on security on Windows NT/2000 ----------------------------------- For information on how NetOp Host interacts with system and file security, including information on the proper account for the NetOp Helper service, please refer to online help. The following additional information appeared after the help files were completed: On Windows 2000 only, NetOpActivity is also granted read access to the following locations: Directory and files: %SystemRoot%\Fonts REGISTRY: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock2\Parameters HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock\Parameters HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\nwlnkspx\Parameters NT Logoff --------- When the user logs off on an Windows NT/2000 Host Computer, you may loose the connection to the Host computer. If this happens and the Host program is configured to 'Run as a service' and 'Wait for call at startup', you should be able to reconnect to the host after 20 to 70 seconds. Windows Modem (TAPI) limitations -------------------------------- It is not possible to choose an ISDN modem in conjunction with a Windows Modem (TAPI) communication profile. For support of ISDN modems please use an ISDN(CAPI) communication profile. For more information regarding communication profiles please refer to the NetOp User's Guide or Online Help. Access Server Version 5.4 Compatibility --------------------------------------- Because of new and enhanced security features in version 6.x , The NetOp Access Server version 5.4 is not compatible with version 6.x Guests and Hosts. Note: A 6.x Access Server is backwards compatible and will work in conjunction with 5.4 Guests and Hosts. Coexistence between different NetOp modules ------------------------------------------- In version 6.5 of NetOp Remote Control, a new feature named coexistence is introduced. Since two NetOp modules can't be loaded at the same time, a seperate program manages the starting and stopping of the modules. The behaviour of coexistence is, that if one NetOp module runs, but has no active session, and another module is started, the first module is temporarily stopped. It is then automatically restarted when the second module terminates. Examples are: * A Host is waiting for call. You start a Student. The Host will yield while the Student runs, then it will restart automatically * A Student is waiting for call. You start a Host. The Student will yield while the Host runs, then it will restart automatically * A Host is running. You start a Guest. The Host will yield while the Guest runs, then it will restart automatically * A Student is running. You start a Teacher. The Student will yield while the Teacher runs, then it will restart automatically It is a condition for the above module changes to succeed, that you have checked the program options "wait for call at startup" and "join class at startup". If a Host is currently being remote controlled, or if a Student has joined a classroom, module changes are rejected. An error message will pop up in stead. You can configure an optional Yes/No message box to appear before the program changes are effective. A useful coesistence feature is that a Host listens on behalf of a Student and vice versa. If a Host detects an announcement of the classroom, which the Student is configured for, it will yield, while an automatically started Student runs. When the Student terminates, the Host restarts. The coexistence feature exists in NetOp Remote Control 6.0 build 1999309 and later and in NetOp School 1.5 build 1999309 or later. In these versions, one must manually switch coexistence on in the NetOp.ini file. In 6.5, the default is that coexistence is on, but you may switch it off in NetOp.ini. [COEXISTENCE] COEXIST=1 DEBUG=0 LOAD_WARNING=0 LOAD_STUDENT= LOAD_STUDENT_CMD_LINE=/R:classroom COEXIST must be 1 to enable coexistence, 0 will disable it. Default is coexistence. If DEBUG is 1 the NetOp coexistence manager program will be visible and show various informations about the modules in the load stack. The default is 0. LOAD_WARNING determines whether the user is prompted before the current program is suspended. If the user replies no, the new program is not loaded. By default these prompts are disabled. LOAD_STUDENT is a full path to a student. This line is automatically inserted by the Student's setup program. A Host will look for this line and if the executable exists, it will extract the classroom name from the Student installation. If the classroom name is not blank, the Host will listen for Teachers. If the right classroom is announced, the Host will suspend itself and start the student. LOAD_STUDENT_CMD_LINE offers the possibility to add parameters to the command line used to start the Student. This line is optional. New features and enhancements: =============================== Windows 2000 support - Full support for Windows 2000 implemented - Command mode implemented for fast transfer of screens - Ctrl-Alt-Del can be passed to Host, e.g. to bring up the log on screen. - Windows 2000 "gimmics" can be disabled during remote control to obtain even higher speed Integration with Windows security management (integration with NT security) - Upon connection to Host, the Guest user must enter his Windows user name and password. NetOp access rights are assigned, either to the individual user or to a group of users. - 2000, NT, 98, 95 Host connectivity - More ways to connect a Guest to a Host has been implemented, making NetOp more flexible and easier to use. Now possible to connect via User Name (Windows log on name), DNS Name and Host ID. Host ID is the default when entering a name to call. The default can be changed to User Name or DNS name. Also possible to overwrite the default using U::, DNS:: or H:: followed by the name. - User names / log on names. By using this method, a Guest connects to a Host PC by simply calling the log on name used by the person that has logged-in on the Host PC. So you connect to a person, rather than an identified PC. For example: u::peter will connect to the PC where peter is logged in (assuming a Host is loaded). - Possible to have NetOp show list of duplicate log on names - The Browse list will show the user name in addition to usual information, such as protocol and Host ID. Long DNS name support - NetOp can accept DNS names up to 255 characters long. E.g. peter.jensen.danware.dk New Communication protocols - TCP. New communication device implemented called TCP. This device use TCP. (UDP device still being the default TCP/IP device). TCP is a "Dynamic" NetOp protocol, behaving like a modem or ISDN protocol. The Host is called directly and browse is not possible. When you call a Gateway via TCP, you will have to pass the Gateway security and if you have not specified which host to control, you will be presented with a screen where you can select to remote control the gateway, browse the LAN for Hosts or specify a Host name you want to connect to. Just as if you were connecting via Modem. Many firewalls prevent UDP calls but permit TCP calls, so this new communication device will make it easier to connect through firewalls. - INFRARED (IrDA). New Infra-red protocol implemented. Connect to PCs via Infrared communication and remote control, transfer files, etc. much faster than using e.g. a null-modem cable. Uses Windows built-in support for Infrared communication. - TSE. New proprietary protocol implemented for Terminal Server environments. The TSE protocol is available when the Gateway module is installed on a Terminal Server. This NetOp protocol is used in combination with NetOp School when NetOp School Students run in a Terminal Server environment. The Gateway will route communication between Terminal Server sessions and network protocols such as TCP/IP, IPX and NetBios. - Auto setting of MTU size to avoid "black screen" problem. The result is also increased speed, as NetOp automatically will find the largest packet size possible to use. - If TCP/IP receive port is set to 0 then NetOp will automatically find a free port. This makes it possible to run multiple Guests simultaneously in a Terminal Server environment. NetOp deployment module. A new module that can make installation of NetOp modules easier by using "push" technology. For example: - Distribute / install NetOp hosts onto networked NT or 2000 PCs where there is no NetOp module running. - Distribute / install NetOp hosts onto Windows PCs that already have NetOp Host running. Win 2000, NT, 98 and 95 PCs. - Deployment must take place from a PC running Win 2000 or Win NT. Marker mode - Draw on remote screen to highlight areas of interest, e.g. during a support session - Many different styles, color and line sizes - Undo and Clear command. - Supported for Windows 2000, NT and 98. Full Screen DOS box - Also support for graphics in 2000 and NT 4.0 full screen DOS boxes in bitmap mode (not if dual processor). Notification feature on Host - Audio warning and / or display of information box upon remote control - Optional information box with list of who has connected to the PC - Host shows which Guest is currently controlling the host Transfer of keyboard flags - Setting to prevent keyboard flags being passed from Guest to Host. New buttons in Guest - Send Crtl-Alt-Del to Host (NT / 2000) - Send / Receive clipboard - Marker mode New features since first release of v. 6.0 - Print re-direction feature - Co-existence feature between Student, Teacher, Guest and Host. Only one module can run at a time. - Access Server improvements - Speed - Export feature - Remote Control of Terminal Server Console ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Copyright (c) 1986,2000 Danware Data A/S.
