bring up the NSP control panel on your workstation.
Then click CONTROL PC. Then select which PC you want
to connect to and which mode you would like. It will
then connect to the remote PC.
Is the remote control feature fully stealth?
The remote control feature is mainly to be used as a tool for administering the PC. It's not typically used for monitoring. Once an admin connects to a client PC the client PC's screen will refresh once. Then there is no other sign that the admin is connected as long as the admin has chosen "View Only" option in the remote control window.

Other Notes:
It is recommended that you change the password from the default one on each machine. You should also install the setup on your workstation.

workstation so you can connect to other PC's and use
NSP's features.
