Request/release input control
When connected to a Host computer, two input control states are possible:
 With input control, you control the mouse and keyboard of the Host.
 Without input control, you monitor the Host computer but do not control it.
For a peer-to-peer connection, there can be only one Master connected to a Host. In this
case, you might want to toggle the state to have or not have input control of the Host.
For a Gateway-managed connection, multiple users can be connected to the same Host.
In this case, another user may request input control of the Host. Provided you have the
proper access control rights, you can request or relinquish input control to the other user.
Toggle the input control state by clicking an icon in the toolbar of the Master
Connection window. The icon you click depends on the type of connection you have to
the Host computer.
To toggle input control of a Host computer:
 For a peer-to-peer connection, click .
 For a Gateway-managed connection, click or choose Edit > Input Control from
the menu.
Open chat window
When connected to a chat-enabled Host (i.e. Host 11.2 or later), you will automatically
join a chat room including the Host end-user and any other Master users connected to
that host. A chat window can be opened to send and receive text messages with the user
at the Host machine by clicking on icon on the tool bar. When you type a text
message and click Send, the message will be sent to a similar chat window on the Host
display. If the chat window is not already up on Host display, it will automatically be
started to display the message.
If you are using a Gateway-managed connection to the Host, and there are other the
Master users connected to the same Host via the same Gateway, any text messages will
automatically be sent to all the other Master displays as well.
NOTE: Chat support requires that all components (Host, Master, Gateway) be version
11.2 or later.

All or part of the Host display can be captured and copied to the clipboard on your local
computer. After copying a region of the Host computer display, paste the image into a
