Connecting to a DS-Client
This section describes how to connect to a DS-Client.
To connect to a DS-Client:
1. Start the DS-User application.
2. Select a DS‑Client from the list on the left side of the main window.
• Right-click the list to switch between computer names and IP addresses.
• Color codes for DS-Clients that appear in this list:
Color | RGB values | Meaning |
BLUE | (0, 0, 255) | DS-Client runs on the local machine on which this DS-User is installed. (Supersedes other colors. Only DS-Client can appear blue.) |
BLACK | (0, 0, 0) | FullFeatured DS-Client (Windows / Linux / Mac) |
GREEN | (0, 153, 0) | Un-initialized DS-Client |
LIGHT BLUE | (40, 120, 220) | DS-Mobile Client (Windows) |
AQUA | (20, 170, 170) | DS-Notebook Client (Mac) |
RED | (255, 0, 0) | Service is not running. |
PURPLE | (120, 60, 120) | Cloud-to-Cloud DS-Client (Windows) |
The Connect to DS‑Client Service dialog box appears.
3. In the Protocol box, select one of the following protocols:
• Encrypted: All the data between the DS-User and the DS-Client will be encrypted with a random encryption key at every connection.
• Standard: This option is only offered for backwards compatibility with old service/daemon versions that do not have this feature.
4. Under Credentials, enter your credentials, and then click Connect.
