Connecting automatically
O
nce 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.
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.
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.
