Launching client link to server

• Launch the shortcut on the client and verify that it can connect to the server.
• If you have problems connecting, check the shortcut address to confirm that it is correct, and make sure that if you have a firewall on either the client or the server, you allow access to TCP port 7412.
• Add user accounts under Configuration > Users for each user that you have. If you wish you can restrict the user access level by selecting the appropriate options.
• Note that creating user accounts is not required if you do not wish to track users.
