If you want to connect from a Mac but don’t want to pay for Apple Remote Desktop, Screens 4 is a nice alternative. It works with Apple Remote Management but is available for a much cheaper price at $29. Screens 4 is also available for iPad for just $19.99. Being able to log into your Mac remotely can be very handy. With another Mac user, you can rely on Messages to allow connections for remote screen sharing, and I’d also recommend setting up a separate macOS account for this purpose, likely also with. By default, the remote session will use the same keyboard locale as the OS you're running the client on. (If your Mac is running an en-us OS, that will be used for the remote sessions as well.) If the OS keyboard locale is not used, check the keyboard setting on the remote PC and change it manually.

- Please note that you can enter the message only if you choose the second or third notification options.
Client Notification Options
This area lets you configure the notification box which is shown on the endpoint when a remote session is active:
- Show notification to device user about who connected to his/her workstation and allow terminating the connection - Let the end user know which EM admin/technician is connected to their machine.
- Allow endpoint user to terminate the connection - Choose whether the 'End Session' button should be shown in the notification box or not. If enabled, the end-user will be able to close the connection.
Protocol Options
These settings let you choose the protocol used to connect to Mac OS devices.
- These settings apply to RC version 6.17 and above.
- You can also specify custom ports to be used by the protocol for an additional layer of safety. This allows you to keep only the specified ports open and block other ports for security.
Note: Please make sure you do not assign well-known special ports. We recommend the following port range for custom use: 49152–65535. |
- Use Chromoting - RC uses Chromoting protocol to connect to the device. This option is mandatory and cannot be deselected.
- Ports – Select the port type to be used by Chromoting protocol and specify the ports. The available options are:
- Default – Chromoting will use the port range 49152 – 65535
- Custom Range - Allows you to specify a port range to be used by Chromoting. Enter a range covering at least 4 ports.
Note: Chromoting is supported by Windows 7 and later versions. If CRC is installed on a Windows XP admin machine, it will not be able to connect to a Mac OS device. |
- Click 'Save' to apply your changes to the profile.
