ANYPLACE CONTROL - CORPORATE VERSION

User’s Manual

1. Gateway Server module.

File “GatewayProxy.exe”

Must be installed on the dedicated server (Windows 2000/2003/XP/Vista).

Uses TCP/IP ports: 80, 443, 5278 (These ports must be free on the server and opened in the firewall settings).

It is the single module you must use on the dedicated server.

After first start of this module you must specify Account Administrator Password and click both “Change Password” buttons. Then you need to restart the program.

Now Gateway server application is ready to accept remote connection from Admins and Hosts.

This is visual version of Gateway server. However it is usable, but we recommend you to use non-visual version of Gateway server that can be installed as “system service” - GatewayProxyService.exe

To install service type in the command line:

GatewayProxyService.exe /install

To uninstall:

GatewayProxyService.exe /uninstall

After installation the service please start it via Service Manager or restart Dedicated server and Gateway service will be started automatically.

Gateway module creates log file “proxy_log.txt” in its folder where you can view who connected and when, error messages, etc.

2. Host Module

Files: Apc_host.exe and apc_hostConfig.exe

Host Module must be used on the user’s computers you want to control remotely.

Host module is already configured to connect with your Gateway server, so you don’t need to specify any Gateway server parameters in the Host Module’s settings.

It will automatically connect to your Gateway server right after start.

However you can manually turn off using Gateway Server in the Host Module’s settings and it will not connect with Gateway.

If Firewall is used on the Host PC, you should add file Apc_host.exe to the firewall exception.

This module uses outgoing TCP/IP connection via port 80.

If you have corporate firewall that has “traffic inspection” feature, firewall will block connection even if port 80 is opened, because Host Module uses non-standard HTTP protocol. To solve this issue please open TCP/IP port 5278 on the corporate firewall and Host Module will use this port automatically if it detects that connection via port 80 is blocked.

3. Admin Module

File apc_Admin.exe

Admin Module must be used for controlling Host computers remotely.

Admin module is also configured to connect with your Gateway server, so you don’t need to specify any Gateway server parameters in the Admin Module’s settings.

You just need to type your user name/password and Login.

"Corporate Edition" allows you to have several Admin users with different permissions.

"Account Administrator" user has maximum permissions. It can access all Host computers. Other admin users can access allowed computers only.

Tips concerning firewalls is analogical to Host Module.

3. Gateway Control panel.

This module is used to monitor Gateway server status remotely and manage your Account.

You can view which computers are online at the current moment, how many remote control sessions (Admin -> Host) are.

You can create different groups of computers, move computers between groups.

You can create several Admin users for your Account and set permissions for them: define which groups and computers are allowed to be accessed by each Admin user.

Also you can use this module as Supervisor to monitor whether access to Gateway server is available. In the case of faults or connection problems you will receive notification via e-mail.

When you click “Online Modules” – you will see which computers (Admin and Host) are online at the current moment.
