How to do I disable the hotspots view from my PASSPORT screen?

Solution

Hotspots are designated text strings that appear in the host screen that perform specified functions when they are clicked with the mouse. Hotspot functions can be used to send host function, text string to the host, run a macro script, etc.  When hotspots are configured to be visible, they appear like Windows dialog box buttons.

 

To disable the hotspots view, follow the steps below:

 

For PASSPORT PC to Host:

  1. Start a PASSPORT session.
  2. Select Hotspots from the Options menu.
  3. Un-check the option View Hotspots.

Note: You can also un-check the Hotspots option from the View menu.
