Back up
2.1 Running the Client
BT I-Connect
can be installed on your machine in one of two ways depending on yours/your
business's requirements.
Standard Installation
If your machine starts up with the normal Windows log-on dialog, then once you have logged on to
the desktop, you just run
BT I-Connect
like any other application:
Locate the
BT I-Connect
icon
on your desktop and double click to launch the application.
Alternatively, click on the
icon from the
Start->Programs->
BT I-Connect
.
When you have started running
BT I-Connect
, then this icon
will show in your system tray at the
bottom right hand side of your screen.
You are now ready to make a connection, see
Connecting using WiFi
,
Connecting using Broadband
and
Connecting using International Dial
for details.
Advanced Installation
If your machine has been configured to authenticate your Windows log-on with your corporate
network
before
allowing access to the desktop, then
BT I-Connect
will run automatically at
Windows start-up. Note that some machines will show a welcome dialog before the client is visible
and you should cancel this to continue (normally by pressing
Ctrl+Alt+Del
).
You are now ready to make a connection, see
Connecting using WiFi
,
Connecting using Broadband
and
Connecting using International Dial
for details.
When your connection has been established,
you will be prompted with the normal Windows log-
on dialog box and this will authenticate directly with your corporate network to allow access to the
Windows desktop. Upon a successful log on, the client will remain connected as you enter your
Windows desktop.
Should you wish to end your initial connection and exit
BT I-Connect
, then you can make a
subsequent connection by re-running the client as detailed for the
Standard Installation
above.
