Viewing a Plant SCADA Access Anywhere Session

After successfully logging on, an RDP session is launched and Plant SCADA starts at the remote machine. The Plant SCADA client appears within a browser window.

While it is connected, Plant SCADA Access Anywhere intercepts the mouse, button, and keyboard events, and transmits them to the RDP host. As a result, various keyboard keys and mouse buttons that are usually handled by the browser will behave differently. For example, clicking the F5 button normally causes the browser to reload the current page, but when using Plant SCADA Access Anywhere F5 will not reload the page. Instead, the keyboard command will be transmitted to and handled by the remote Plant SCADA client.

Note: In most browsers, clicking the Back, Forward, or Reload browser buttons will cause Plant SCADA Access Anywhere Server to display a message asking if you wish to leave the current page. If you decide to proceed, the remote session will be disconnected. (Some browsers may not prompt for confirmation).

When accessed by Plant SCADA Access Anywhere, a Plant SCADA client cannot be minimized. If the remote Plant SCADA client is shut down at the server end, your session will be terminated automatically in approximately three seconds. Closing the browser in your remote session will end the RDP session.
