1.3.6 System components required for using the remote control facility

The system configuration required for using the remote control facility consists of the local system (Remote Control Manager) and the remote system (Remote Control Agent).

Remote Control Manager
This program calls the remote client's window information and controls the client. It is one of the components of JP1/Software Distribution Manager.

Remote Control Agent
This is a remote program that provides the local system's window information to the Remote Control Manager to be controlled. It is one of the components of JP1/Software Distribution Manager (relay manager) and JP1/Software Distribution Client.

You can install the Remote Control Manager and Remote Control Agent on a PC on which other JP1/Software Distribution facilities, such as a client or a managing server, are installed. You can also install the Remote Control Manager on a PC that is not used as the managing server or a relay manager/system. If you are using the remote control facility only, you can use JP1/Remote Control.

The following table lists the operating environment for remote control.
