How to correctly set up a ScreenConnect Session
-
Log into Server
-
Expand the SmartController to see all the till numbers and names
-
"Build" a new session in ScreenConnect (There are 8 Properties - only fill the first 5 properties, don't worry about the last 3 properties)
-
IMPORTANT - use the naming conventions outlined below
-
Copy the URL
-
Go back to the venue server and check the IP Address of the till you want to connect
-
Access the till via VNC using the till IP address and password "Vec****"
-
Open Chrome or Edge and paste in the URL. Hit Enter
-
The ScreenConnect installer will download. Run the installer (it's very quick and there's nothing to close at the end)
-
Close Chrome and check in ScreenConnect that the till is now online.
-
Keep a note of any tills that you cannot access. Some tills may not be turned on yet and we can check later. Tablets may need to be done during trade.
Naming convention should be:
Group Name - Venue Name - Device
- Add a # before Head Office venue so it appears at the top
- Add a # in front of a Server device so they appear at the top of each venue
- Use a device initial and leading zeroes for tills so everything sorts nicely
Examples:
Matthews Hotels - #Head Office - #Server
Matthews Hotels- Bentleys Hotel - #Server
Matthews Hotels- Bentleys Hotel - T01 Main Bar 1
Matthews Hotels- Bentleys Hotel - T02 Main Bar 2
Matthews Hotels- Bentleys Hotel - T03 Bistro Food
Matthews Hotels - Maylands Hotel - #Server
