Starting a mobile session from a custom connection item
Connection items simplify the process of reconnecting to a host computer. The
connection items that are listed on the main product screen store the connection
and security settings that you selected when you configured a connection to a
host computer.
To start a mobile session from a custom connection item
1
Start pcAnywhere Mobile.
2
On the main product screen, in the connection items list, select the connection
item for the host computer to which you want to connect.
3
On any properties tab, tap Connect.
If you have not configured the logon credentials on the Auto Login tab, you
will be prompted for logon credentials upon connection.
Starting a mobile connection from Quick Connect
Symantec pcAnywhere Mobile lets you quickly connect to another computer with
minimal setup. Before connecting, you must know the computer name or IP address
of the host computer and the logon information.
You can select from a list of available hosts, or you can enter the IP address or
computer name of the computer to which you want to connect. If your device has
network access, pcAnywhere Mobile searches the local subnet for pcAnywhere
hosts that are waiting for a connection. You can broaden the search to include
additional subnets.
See “Adding subnet addresses to a host search on your mobile device” on page 283.
Symantec pcAnywhere Mobile saves your settings so that you can use them for
subsequent connections. If you want to connect to a different host computer the
next time that you use Quick Connect, you might need to modify the connection
settings.
