4.1 Octopus Server
The O
CTOPUS SERVER is the central application in the OCTOPUS remote control software. This software,
installed on a wallboard display server, will communicate with O
CTOPUS CLIENT and Administrator
applications. In its communications, it will translate messages sent to it from the client into mouse
movements and keyboard events on the wallboard display server. All events that can be input into a local
computer will be sent to the wallboard display. This effectively allows computer users sitting at his/her
workstation to control a wallboard display, using the keyboard and mouse on the desk in front of him.
4.1.1 Application startup
The OCTOPUS SERVER application can be placed in the startup folder of the computer on which it is
installed. Being in the
startup folder makes the application execute automatically after somebody logs on
to the machine.
You can tell if the O
CTOPUS SERVER application or service is running by looking at the system tray,
where you will see the O
CTOPUS icon. If the application has not been placed in the startup folder, then it
is possible to select the application from the
Start menu.
