Several times restarting of your server/pc shall probably be needed. Pic.3.1 Start to Install After the installation of the necessary components, please read carefully the license agreement, then accept to continue the installation. Firstly please fill in "Expected number of connected terminals" according to the actual deployment situation. This option will determine the maximum number of the terminals you allow to connect to the server/pc simultaneously. The default is calculated by the installation program as per the hardware configuration of the server/pc and the version of the Operation System. However, if you don't know what it means, please leave it to the program and directly click on next. 7
Pic.3.2 Set Max. Concurrent User Number Note: If the number of the connected terminals exceeds the "Expected number of connected terminals" you set up, the audio of the terminals might not work properly. In this case, you need to reset this option. Please rerun the installation program, choose "Modify", and reset the " Expected number of connected terminals" Click on next till the start of the installation. In order to verify the validity of the software, please ensure the Internet network connection during the installation process, or it is likely to pop up the following warning: Pic.3.3 Warning without driver certificate signature (Windows Vista or Above) Under normal circumstances, the first installation will get this tips: Pic.3.4 Driver certificate signature verified (Windows Vista or Above) Please choose to trust and install for the above two situations. 3.3 Initialize the basic configuration Start the installation, it will automatically start the server configuration wizard, please follow the configuration wizard to complete the server's basic Settings. 8
Pic.3.5 Configuration Wizard:Appoint the disk where the user private disk partition will be located "User Private Disk Partition" refers to the disk which the private disk partitions of all users you'd like to put in. There will be created the User's Private Space Data Home Directory in this partition/disk, please don't manually add or delete files or folders in this directory. We recommend you not to assign this path to the same partition with the operating system, and reserve enough disk space to store the users information. From better management consideration, we suggest you use a dedicated disk partition to store the users' private data. Pic.3.6 Configuration:Appoint the disks which all the users can visit "All users visible drive" refers to the disk partitions that all end users can view, check and use freely. Those disk partitions haven't been chosen here will be invisible to any of the users.

set in the previous step to be the "All users visible drive", otherwise it will be visible to all the users.

"View user desktop (monitoring) permission method" will decide if the administrator need the user's permission when he uses the server management tool to monitor the user's desktop, or provide the remote assistance to the user. "Don't need permission" means there will be no any prompt when the administrator is viewing the desktop of the online user. If you select "need user's permission", then the system will send a prompt asking the user's permission before the administrator monitor/view the user's desktop. Only when the user permits the monitoring the administrator can start to monitor/view/check. You can set up a super administrator password for this mode, which will allow the administrator temporarily to monitor the user's desktop without any permission.
