ISL Light supports the installation of ISL AlwaysOn on the remote computer from within a session. This is handy if you make repeated connections to the same remote computer. Please follow the steps below to learn how to add a remote computer to your list of ISL AlwaysOn computers:
Step 1
Click on the "Set Unattended Access" item from the "Tools" menu.
Note: If the computer is already on your computer list, "Set Unattended Access" won't be shown in the dropdown.
Step 2
In the window that opens, enter the computer name for the remote computer. This alias will be shown in your list of ISL AlwaysOn computers, so it is advisable to select a descriptive name.
Note: You can leave the computer name blank, in that case, a name will be generated and used in the form WORKGROUP\*.
Select which group you wish to place the remote computer. The groups shown here are the groups you created in ISL Light for the remote computers.
Note: You do not need to select a group. If a group is not selected, the computer is placed in the default All Computers group.
Enter the access password that will be used to connect to the remote computer. You can also specify tags, separated by a comma, which will help you search for the computer in ISL Light.
Important: Depending on if ISL AlwaysOn is already installed on the remote computer, different access passwords might be set. If ISL AlwaysOn is already installed then only the Connection access password (used when connecting to the remote computer from your ISL Online account) will be set to the password you entered. If ISL AlwaysOn is installed for the first time on the remote computer then Connection access password as well as the Main access password (used when connecting to the remote computer with any ISL Online account) will be set to the password you entered.
Step 3
Click "Download" to download and install ISL AlwaysOn.
Important: In this step, 3 different options may happen, depending on the Operating system and version of ISL Light on the remote computer:
- On Windows the pop-up will appear on the remote computer and you will need to click on the "here" link to download ISL AlwaysOn.
- On macOS the installation of ISL AlwaysOn will start automatically without any pop-up window and you can continue with Step 7.
Step 4
Run the ISL AlwaysOn.exe. Follow the installation wizard and click Finish.
Step 5
Click "Grant Access" to add the computer to the ISL Always on list and grant access to it.
Important: Review the changes that will take place and make sure you are granting the access to the right user before allowing the access.
Step 6
You can now connect to the remote ISL AlwaysOn computer.
