Compression Level:
The amount of compression placed on each scan block before it is sent to the local machine.
Scan Blocks (Scan Lines/Blocks):
The number of segments of the remote machine’s screen the program scans prior to sending the data to the local machine.
Delay Between Scan Block Update:
The length of time, in milliseconds, that the MRC program waits before it scans another block of the remote machine’s screen.
Port Number:
The TCP Port number on which the MRC program communicates with the MRC Client Agent Service on the remote machine. ***The TCP Port number specified here must match the TCP Port on which the MRC Client Agent Service is running on the remote machine.
Use Slow Link Optimization:
Allows the MRC program to perform additional processing in order to minimize the amount of data that is sent across the wire.
Set Screen Resolution To:
Allows the remote machine’s resolution to be temporarily reset to the selected screen size during the MRC session.
Desktop Effects:
Allows the MRC user to temporarily disable certain features and/or characteristics of the remote machine’s desktop to increase performance during the MRC session.
Inactivity Options:
Enable Sleep on Inactivity:

Uses 16 Million colors during the MRC connection.
Force 32 bit Display:
Uses 4 Billion colors during the MRC connection.
Encryption Options:
Enable FIPS Mode:
Enables FIPS level encryption during the MRC session. When enabled, the MRC session encryption uses RSA’s BSAFE Crypto-C ME FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic library.
Encrypt General Data:
