Remote Control
Take remote control of a selected student or students. This means, you can remotely use the
mouse and keyboard on the selected student's computer. With Faronics Insight, you can even
remote control a computer at the login prompt.
In order to send the ctrl-alt-del command to a computer during remote control, you may click on
the Control button's chevron menu -> Send ctrl-alt-del menu or the Monitor -> Send ctrl-alt-del
menu item.
During Remote Control we map the Command key on the Mac to the Alt key on Windows and the
Option key to the Windows key.
Selecting multiple computers will allow you to remote control multiple computers at the same
time. This only works if they look exactly the same.
NOTE: Before using this feature in Windows Vista and above, the following security policy must
be enabled:
Local Security Policy > Security Options > Interactive Logon: Do not display last user name.
Limit Student Web Browsing
Temporarily disable all or selected student access to the web across all browsers.*
In the preferences dialog, you may choose between blocking...
• All web activity
• Allowing certain websites
• Blocking certain websites
This feature must be configured in the Preferences dialog and then turned on by clicking the Limit
Web button or menu item.
The allow and block lists recognize the wildcards "*" and "?", making it easier to limit certain
kinds of websites.
While the Internet is disabled, an icon on both the teacher and the student computer will indicate
that the web is disabled.
If a student tries to browse to a website that isn't allowed, they can optionally be shown a website
that lists the allowed websites.
Note*: On the Mac, Safari is the only supported browser for allowing certain websites. Block all
works across all web browsers.
