 What is Radmin?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Radmin is a remote control program that lets you work on another 
computer remotely through your own. You see the remote computer's 
screen in a resizable window on your own monitor or as the full 
screen. Your mouse and keyboard control the remote computer so you 
can work on the remote computer just as if you were sitting right at 
it.

The remote computer can be anywhere on the Internet or in your local 
network. You don't need a fast network connection. Even with a MODEM 
the screen update speed is an acceptable 5-10 screen updates per 
second. If the remote computer is on your LOCAL NETWORK the typical 
speed is from 100 to 500 screen updates per second. 

Often while working in Radmin's full-screen mode, you forget that you 
are working on a REMOTE computer! 

Radmin consists of two parts:

* The server on the remote computer that sends the remote 
  computer's screen display.
* The client - also called the viewer - that shows the remote screen 
  display on your own monitor.

To get started you need to run Radmin server on the remote computer. 
Then run Radmin client on your own computer. The current version of 
Radmin requires a TCP/IP connection between both computers, so you'll 
need to set this up if they are not already connected.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
 What makes it different from other systems?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Radmin outperforms all other remote control software in speed,
security and usability.

Speed:     Radmin is the fastest remote control software available.
           It is optimized for low-bandwidth connections such as
           modems. Connecting via modem, screen refreshment rate
           reaches 5-10 updates per second. If connected to a LAN you
           can work on remote computer with real-time speed, reaching
           over 100 screen updates per second.

Security   is a critical consideration when implementing the remote
           control software. To maintain the security of data and
           corporate network resources, Radmin supports the existing
           level of environment security and provide its own level
           as well. Radmin offers the highest levels of encryption
           available in its category.

Usability: Radmin simple interface is devoid of useless
           'value added features' that bloat software and make it
           hard to work with. Radmin is extremely easy to learn
           and use.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
 Features
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Run as a Service
Radmin server can work as a SERVICE under Win9x, ME, NT4.0, Win2000
and Winsows XP. This lets you log a user on or off remotely.
NOTE: If Radmin server is started on Windows XP, the "Switch User"
      feature cannot be used.

Multiple Connections Support
Radmin server supports simultaneous multiple connections to the same 
remote screen.

Full-Screen, Scaled and Windowed View Modes
Full-screen mode shows the remote screen full-size on your own monitor
Scaled mode lets you see the remote screen in a window on your monitor 
scaled to the remote screen's defined size.

Video Hook Driver Technology is Used
Radmin uses video hook kernel mode drivers under Windows NT to capture 
screen changes. This boosts the speed to hundreds of screen updates
per second.

File Transfer
Current version lets you transfer files (less than 2Gb) between
computers  with Windows Explorer like interface. 

Remote Shutdown
Now you don't have to connect in the Full Control mode.

Telnet Server
Radmin server provides Telnet access to remote computers (except on 
Win9x).

Windows NT Security Support
You can allow remote control, remote view, telnet and file transfer 
access to specific users or user groups from an NT domain. If a user 
logged into a WinNT domain connects to Radmin server, the user's 
current username/password are employed by Radmin viewer to authorize 
a connection to the Radmin server.

Password Protection
If Windows NT security support is switched off, access to a remote 
computer is controlled by a password. Radmin uses a challenge-response 
password authentication method based on 128 bit strong encryption.

128 Bit Strong Encryption of All Data Streams.
In the version 2.2 encryption is always enabled, it causes just 5% 
performance loss. 

IP Filter
Allows an access to the Radmin server only from specified IP addresses 
and subnets.

Radmin Supports High-Resolution Modes
Display resolutions up to 2048 X 2048 X 32 bit color are supported by 
Radmin. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------
 System requirements.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

No special requirements for hardware.
Required software is Windows 95/ME/NT4.0/2000/XP with TCP/IP
protocol installed.

NOTE: If Radmin server is started on Windows XP, the "Switch User"
      feature cannot be used.

NOTE: Radmin still operates successfully when the display, mouse and 
      keyboard are disconnected from the remote computer, however some 
      computers do not boot successfully without a keyboard
      plugged in.

For All Operating Systems (Win9x/ME/NT/2000/XP):
The computer must have TCP/IP installed, the most-used protocol for 
networking computers.

Windows NT 4.0:
Service pack 4 or higher is required.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
 Installation.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Two computers need to be connected by TPC/IP, either on a local network 
or the Internet. 
Radmin must be installed on each computer.

Before Installation For All Users:
Uninstall any earlier version of Radmin, before installing a newer 
version.

Before Installation For All Users:

* Uninstall any earlier version of Radmin, before installing a newer
  version.

For Windows 2000/XP Users: 

* You need administrator rights to install Radmin Server as a service.

For Windows NT 4.0 Users: 

* You need administrator rights to install Radmin Server as a service
  and install the driver.
* Before installing Radmin's video hook driver be sure that any other
  Remote Control software that uses video hook driver technology has
  been removed. Running more than one video hook driver can lead to a
  system crash while booting. Sample applications that use a video
  hook driver: NetMeeting 3.0+, SMS, Timbuktu. If a problem occurs
  while booting with the Radmin driver, you can press the
  '1' (number one) key repeatedly during booting and the Radmin
  driver will not load.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Limitations
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Radmin file transfer feature supports files up to 2Gb and folders
with up to 20,000 files. 

Radmin may fail to operate correctly together with some applications 
causing high CPU usage, also with some specific antiviral software and 
firewalls. The product may be not compatible with some particular 
models of hardware, such as routers.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Radmin Security
----------------------------------------------------------------------

A lot of attention was paid to security issues in the Radmin design
from the outset. Here are some reasons that Radmin's operations are
completely secure:

* Radmin 2.2 supports Windows NT/2000/XP user level security. You can
  allow remote control to specific users or user groups.
* If Windows NT security support is switched off, access to a remote
  computer is restricted by password. Remote Administrator uses a
  challenge-response password authentication method (MD5 and Twofish
  crypto algorithms are used). This method is similar to the
  authentication method used in Windows NT, but uses more powerful
  security keys. 
* Radmin works in encrypted mode, where all data, including screen
  images, mouse movements and keypresses are encrypted. 128 bit
  Twofish encryption is used. Twofish crypto is distinguished for its
  combination of speed, flexibility and conservative design.
* Radmin server has a logging feature. All actions are written to
  the log file. Event Log support is also included.
* Radmin server has an IP filter table that restricts remote access
  to IP addresses and networks you specify.
* Radmin has a self testing code defence that protects the code from
  being altered.
