LapLink MN-LGD011-XX-US manual Connecting automatically

Connecting automatically

Once you have established a connection, you can save it for easy restoration later. You can restore a saved connection by double-clicking a shortcut icon, setting up LapLink to restore the connection automatically when you start LapLink, or restoring the connection while running LapLink. When LapLink restores a connection, it connects to the same computer or computers and opens the same services.

You can restore a saved connection three ways:

• Double-click its desktop icon.

• Set up LapLink to restore the connection automatically, whenever you run LapLink.

• Restore the connection yourself, while using LapLink.

Instead of spending time connecting to the same computer and opening the same services time after time, you can save the connection and use the saved connection as a convenient way to reconnect later.

NOTE To connect to several computers at once, open connections to each of those computers before saving connections.

When you save a connection, you record such details as the number and types of connections (modem, network, Internet, cable), the names of computers, the user name and password if necessary, and the kinds of services in use. Each connection is saved as a file. Opening the file reopens the connections and services and arranges windows to appear much as they did before.
