Peer-to-Peer Hosts tab
If a Master can locate a Host in its network, the Host is known as a Peer-to-Peer Host
and will be listed on the Peer-to-Peer Hosts tab in the Master. Double-click on any
remote Host to establish a direct remote control connection (called a "peer-to-peer
connection"); a Master Connection window will pop up showing the desktop of the remote
Host (see Connection Window Operation for more information).
With peer-to-peer connections, security and other configuration settings will be
negotiated between the Master and Host.
From the Peer-to-Peer Hosts tab of the Master window, you can find Hosts by using one
of the following 3 options:
 “Type the station or address”
 "Select from automatic polling lists"
 "Search with custom polling list"
Type the station or address
Sometimes polling for machines in the network with Host is not ideal (such as a network
with a large number of machines distributed across multiple domains). In these situations,
polling by the Master may be slow and bandwidth-intensive.
Instead, if you know the IP address of the Host computer, you can initiate a connection
by typing its address in the Station field of the Peer-to-Peer Hosts tab.
