Using Account Connection

Top Previous Next

Account Connection mode is the easiest way to establish connection with the remote PC via Internet without using IP addresses or any network settings like routers, ports and anything of the kind. Read more about this connectivity mode here...

To use our Account Connection service you need a minimum install of Anyplace Control on 2 computers (Admin and Host).

All your computers are united into a logical group - Account (something similar with work group or domain). Account computers can be located anywhere: in different LANs or in the Internet, even on different continents.

Each computer in the Account has a unique nickname.

During the installation process of Anyplace Control you can create a new Account or connect to an existing one. To enter an Account you need to know an Account Name and an Account Password.

After you have added your Host computer into Account it is very easy to connect to it over the Internet. You just start the Admin module and in the Account Connection tab you can see the Host computers list of your Account. You can also see the status of these computers (online/offline).

Your Account is almost identical with the Windows Network Places. It is a kind of virtual private network. Select a computer from the list; click the Connect button and you are connected.

Notions:

Account name is the name of your computers group. The best thing is to enter your valid e-mail address as your Account Name. In this case you will get news and info from us and it will be much easier to support such an Account.

Account Password is a special password providing your Account from unauthorized access. Moreover each unique Host in your Account is protected by an Access password. Read more about security features here…

Nickname is the name of your PC in the Account. Each PC must have a unique name which by default is the name of the network PC (PC name displayed in MS Network Places).

There are 2 Account Types:

Private (both Host and Admin modules require Account Password to connect with the Account)

Public (Admin Module only requires Account Password to connect with the Account. Hosts access Account without password)

Account Management

Both Admin and Host modules have a drop-down menu called "Options" with the following commands available:

"Change Account Password, properties..." command allows you to view your Account data, change Account Password and Account Type.

"Use another Account" command allows you to switch between existing Accounts (for example, between home Account and a corporate one). If you don't have any Account, click on the "Create new Account" button in the appearing dialog box.
