Adding an Address Book Entry- General Tab

Clicking on the Add button on the Address Book toolbar brings you to the Add Address Book Entry screen, on the General tab, as seen here. The address book allows you to create and save connections, so that frequently used connections can be instantly accessed, without having to redefine the connection information each time.

Description

This describes the connection you are making. It could be at a person’s desk, or represent a server to you. LapLink Gold Corporate automatically populates whatever is typed in the Description field to the Computer Name field, though it is not necessary for these fields to be identical.

Computer Name

NOTE The Computer Name information entered must match the LapLink name of the computer you're connect-

ing to EXACTLY, and is case-sensitive. This is not neces- sarily the same as the Windows computer name. To see or change the computer name on the host computer you are connecting to, go to the Options menu in LapLink on that machine, and choose ‘Computer Name’.

The other fields in the top section (Company Name, Job Title, Notes) allow you to describe the connection. Some- times a computer is a person's desktop, sometimes it is a server. These fields allow you to describe this computer connection more fully.
