Direct Connection Edition

Direct Connection Edition of Multi Screen Remote Desktop software allows the user to connect remote computer using IP address or network name. Software uses direct TCP/IP tunnel between host PC and admin computer. Direct Connection is the best solution to control computers remotely inside local area networks (LAN) and when remote computer has public IP address (internet server, for example).

Direct connection is a default mode of Remote Desktop Control software

To get direct connection working through firewalls, when remote computer doesn't have static IP address, or the address is not routed to Internet, you have to configure routers and other devices by yourself. If you have no network administration experience, we advice you to subscribe for Online Gateway service that solves such problems automatically.

You may select any network (workgroup or domain) computer for direct connection

Direct Connection Edition is equal to Remote Desktop Control version 1.x, but contains file transfer and other additional features. Internet gateway is not supported. You need Online Gateway edition to access on-line accounts.

How to get the system to work

Multi Screen Remote Desktop is very easy to deploy. Just follow these few steps and you will get the system to work:

  1. Go to the computer you want to control, it is a Host Computer. Install the Host Module (or both modules) of Remote Desktop Control product there. You may download the installation package right from our site onto that computer or ask somebody to do this task for you. Make sure that the Host Module is running on the remote PC.
