Connecting at the office

With greater resources at hand, you can make faster connections—and connect in more ways—while working in the office. Connect over a corporate network, for example, for the fastest file transfers. Use a LapLink Gold cable to synchronize your desktop and laptop before and after you travel. And take advantage of your organization’s direct connection to the Internet for cheap connections to distant locations.

Connect to other computers on your network

If your office is equipped with a local network (LAN), you can connect directly to any other computer on the network running LapLink Gold, using Connect Over LAN (Network). Because LapLink Gold connections over networks are fast, they are ideal for sending large amounts of data in a short time.

Suppose it’s your job to distribute files to several computers every Tuesday. To automate the operation, create an Xchange Agent file by showing LapLink Gold which files to copy and where to copy them. When Tuesday arrives, run the Xchange Agent yourself or schedule it to run unat- tended, at a time when the computers are usually idle. LapLink Gold automatically connects to the computers, transfers files to the designated folders, and disconnects, all without assistance.

It may also be your job to maintain those computers. With- out leaving your desk, you can use Remote Control to trou- bleshoot problems on other computers, chatting with their users, if necessary.

NOTE A LapLink Gold license, either a single-user license or a special volume license, must be purchased by each person using LaLink in order to use LapLink Gold soft- ware. Visit www.laplink.com to learn more about licensing rules and opportunities.

Connect your laptop to your desktop

If you take your laptop—and your work—with you when you leave the office, you know the routine: update files on your laptop before you leave; update files on your desktop when you return.

To update files on either computer, attach a LapLink Gold cable and run LapLink Gold on both computers. A connec- tion opens automatically.

Instead of manually moving files and folders from one com- puter to another, you can create an Xchange Agent to syn- chronize your files and folders, so that both computers have the latest versions of each file. You can even set the Agent to synchronize automatically.

Connect to computers over the Internet

Does your office have a direct line to the Internet? By com- bining LapLink Gold and the Internet, you can connect to computers anywhere in the world.

Use LapLink Gold from the office or the road to connect to other computers. You can connect from your desktop, lap- top, even from an internet cafe on the road, using the capa- bilities of your LapLink Everywhere account.
