Xmanager provides Xmanager and Xstart, two basic tools for accessing a remote UNIX/Linux host. Xmanager brings the entire remote desktop via XDMCP (X display manager control protocol) to the user's Windows PC. Other users who only need access to single X applications, as opposed to an entire desktop environment, can opt to us Xstart as it is simpler and quicker than an XDMCP connection.

• Note
  Run Xmanager - Passive from the Tools folder under the Xmanager installation folder to have Xmanager server enter standby mode for X application connections. Users can then run a remote X application using Xstart or other tools.
  Run Xmanager - Broadcast in the Tools folder under the Xmanager installation folder to have Xmanager server broadcast an XDMCP Query message through the network. Hosts that respond to the query message are listed in the Chooser window. A host can be selected from the list and a connection to it can be made.
