When you configure the connection in pcAnywhere, do the following:
■ Select TCP/IP as the connection type.
■ Specify the IP address of the host computer.
■ Choose to automatically login to the host on connection.
If you do not include the login information, you are prompted for it when
you connect to the thin host.
■ Type the following login name:
symantec
■ Type the following password:
recover
The thin host shuts down when there is an attempt to connect by using any
incorrect configuration settings.
To prevent unauthorized users from tampering with your settings or
launching a session without your permission, set a password for your remote
connection item.
This option is available in the Remote Properties window on the Protect Item
tab. The thin host does not support encryption.

In pcAnywhere, start the remote control session.
If the connection attempt is unsuccessful, the thin host must be restarted on
the host computer before you make another attempt to connect.
6
Remotely perform the necessary tasks on the host computer.
The remote control session ends when the thin host is closed, when the thin
host computer is restarted, or when the remote control session is ended.
After the host computer starts Windows, the client computer can deploy and
connect a thin host on the computer to verify the success of tasks that were
performed in the recovery environment.
