Do not alert local desktop user
With this option selected, no message will appear on the PlanetRemote-enabled computer when a remote control connection is established. The PlanetRemote icon in the system tray will not change color and remain green during entire remote control connection.

 

Alert local desktop user (recommended)
By selecting this option, the PlanetRemote system tray icon on the PlanetRemote-enabled computer will change from green to orange and display an XP-style balloon message window (shown below) indicating that a remote connection has been established. The message balloon will automatically disappear after a short period of time, although the icon will remain orange until the remote connection has been discontinued.
 


 

 

Local Desktop user must acknowledge connection in:
This option requires the local computer user on the PlanetRemote-enabled computer to acknowledge the remote connection before it can be established completely. The local computer user will be prompted with a dialog that identifies the address of the connecting party and requests permission to complete the remote connection. To allow the remote connection, the local user must click the Yes button within 30 seconds of the notification dialog appearing. If the local user selects the No button, or does respond to the request, remote access to the PlanetRemote-enabled computer will be denied.
