• 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.
• When Pass All Keys is disabled, the behavior depends on the key combinations pressed and the special
combinations interpreted by the operating system on the management station.
