    Tip

    Connecting the Client to the Server behind NAT


    Note
    titleAttention!

    The Client version and the Server version, to which you connect, must match. The DriversPack version must be the same as well. If the Server version is older than the Client version, you will be prompted to update the Client automatically (see Automatic update of a remote Client). We strongly recommended to avoid any connections if the product versions don't match.


    Info
    titleNote

    If a remote user connects to the Server, the name or the IP address of the computer with which the connection is established must be entered in the Server name or IP address field.

    The order of the Servers in the list is the following:

    1. Preferred Servers (see Selecting Preferred Servers).
    2. The last Server that was connected to.
    3. Other Servers in alphabetical order.

    titleNote

    When you log into the system for the first time, use the username root, which has administrator permissions. Enter root into the Username and Password fields.

    A window will open in which you must enter a new password.

    When you hover the cursor over the  icon, a tooltip will appear in which you can see the requirements for the new password (see Configuring the user security policy). Click the Apply button to save the new password.

    The administrator then needs to configure the system for multi-user access (for details, see Configuring user permissions).

If the Server to which you connect doesn't belong to any domain, after you click the Connect button in the authorization window, a message will be displayed.

To connect to the Server, you must either create a new domain based on the Server or add the Server to an existing domain. 
If you choose the first option, click Apply in the message and follow the instructions given in Creating a new domain. For the second option, click the button and follow the instructions given in Adding a Server to an existing Domain.
