Remote Control

Remote Control

Remote-control software lets you control a computer’s mouse and keyboard without being physically present — ideal for remote support or checking in on a machine from home.

How Remote Control Fits into Panel

Each package on the Remote Control menu is integrated with K12Panel and comes with specific instructions to get it working quickly in your organization. In a nutshell, each integration follows the same steps:

• Use Panel to install the remote-control software on the computer to be controlled.
• Configure an Asset Connector so you can launch remote control directly from the Asset in Panel.
• Install QuickCommands to perform useful actions.
• Set up your administrative computer with the viewer software for the chosen solution.
