• All the individual keys (not a combination of different keys, but a single key stroke) are always sent to the managed system. This
includes all the Function keys, Shift, Alt, Ctrl key and Menu keys. Some of these keys affect both management station and
managed system.
For example, if the management station and the managed system is running Windows operating system, and Pass All Keys is
disabled, when you press the Windows key to open the Start Menu, the Start menu opens on both management station and
managed system. However, if Pass All Keys is enabled, then the Start menu is opened only on the managed system and not on
the management station.
