A remote administration system's ability to communicate with remote computers using in-band communications is contingent on many factors (e.g., the operability of the network over which the in-band communications is carried and, to some extent, the correct operation of the software on the remote computer). Accordingly, there may come a time (e.g., during a network outage) where the remote administration system can no longer communicate with the remote computer over the preferred communications protocol (e.g., using in-band communications). In such a case, a status detector of the remote administration system may detect that an error has occurred (e.g., by "pinging" the remote computer and getting no response or by losing an open network connection) and then switch to a less preferred communications protocol (e.g., using out-of-band communications). |
