Keyboard Pass-through
Keystrokes that a user enters when using a Video Viewer window may be interpreted in two ways, depending
on the Screen mode of the Video Viewer window.
• If a Video Viewer window is in Full Screen mode, all keystrokes and keyboard combinations except Ctrl-
Alt-Del are sent to the remote target device being viewed.
• If a Video Viewer window is in Regular Desktop mode, Keyboard Pass-through mode can be used to control
whether the remote target device or local computer recognizes certain keystrokes or keystroke combinations.
Keyboard pass-through must be specified using the Session Options dialog box. When enabled, keyboard pass-
through sends all keystrokes and keystroke combinations except Ctrl-Alt-Del to the remote target device being
viewed when the Video Viewer window is active. When the local desktop is active, keystrokes and keystroke
combinations entered by the user affect the local computer.
NOTE: The Ctrl-Alt-Del keyboard combination can be sent only to a remote target device by using a macro.
NOTE: The Japanese keyboard ALT-Han/Zen keystroke combination is always sent to a remote target device regardless of the
Screen mode or keyboard pass-through setting.
To specify keyboard pass-through:
1. Select Tools - Session Options from the Video Viewer window menu.
-or-
Click the Session Options button.
The Session Options dialog box appears.
2. Click the General tab.
