These instructions assume that the observed computer has Apple Remote Desktop installed and configured properly (see "Setting Up an Apple Remote Desktop Client Computer for the First Time" on page 43) and that the computer has been added to an Apple Remote Desktop computer list (see "Finding and Adding Clients to Apple Remote Desktop Computer Lists" on page 53). To control an Apple Remote Desktop client: 1 Select a computer list in the Remote Desktop window. 2 Select one computer from the list. 3 Choose Interact > Control. 4 To customize the control window and session, see "Control Window Options" on page 87. 5 Use your mouse and keyboard to perform actions on the controlled computer. If your Remote Desktop preferences are set to share keyboard and mouse control, the remote computer's keyboard and mouse are active and affect the computer just as the administrator computer's keyboard and mouse do. If your preferences aren't set to share control, the remote computer's keyboard and mouse do not function while the administrator computer is in control. Control Window Options When controlling a client, the control window contains several buttons in the window title bar which you can use to customize your remote control experience.

The toggle buttons are:  Control mode or Observe mode  Share mouse control with user  Fit screen in window  Lock computer screen while you control  Fit screen to full display The action buttons are:  Capture screen to a file  Get the remote clipboard contents  Send clipboard contents to the remote clipboard Chapter 7 Interacting with Users 87
