Installation And Basic Configuration
Installation is simple, just unzip the installer from the downloaded file, double click on the installer and follow the on screen instructions (when selected shortcuts are installed for all users). As well as installing the program this will also install the help pages. AllOff can be safely installed over previous installations but it will need re-configuring if the configuration file is overwritten. To keep the default settings do not allow the configuration file to be overwritten when prompted. The existing configuration file will be copied to AllOff.old. Start the program and enter the registration code to start using AllOff. If you do not have a registration code there is a link on the AllOff registration screen that pops up when the program is first run. See Configuration for details of the parameters that can be varied. The default values should be fine for most applications if remote control is not used. If the program will not work properly check out Configuration and FAQ for suggestions. The program can only be installed and configured by a user with administrative privileges. Installing AllOff Slave to the same location as AllOff will only convert AllOff into AllOff Slave and vice versa even if you do not allow the installer to overwrite the old configuration file.
Multiple Instances And Installations
It is only possible to run one instance of AllOff at a time. AllOff and AllOff Slave can not be run at the same time on one computer. AllOff and AllOff Slave can only exist on the same computer if they are installed into different locations. Neither program can be run at the same time as AllOff Lite. If AllOff is in shutdown mode when an attempt to start a second instance occurs the error message will open beneath the first program window which will take priority.
Shutting Down A Remote Computer
Install the AllOff Slave (by selecting Slave from the program section of the installer) on the remote computer and configure the program with the address of the local computer. See Configuration for details of the other parameters that can be varied for the remote computer. You will also need to set the remote address on the local computer. The AllOff Slave will not start minimised until it is configured. The program can only be installed and configured by a user with administrative privileges.
Security
If remote shutdown is used this program may compromise network security if it is used on insecure networks, this depends on the network and any firewall configuration, for this reason it is recommended remote shutdown is only used across local area networks. You will need appropriate access privileges to the remote computer to use the slave program.
Uninstalling AllOff
To uninstall AllOff or AllOff Slave use the Windows Add/Remove Programs from the Control Panel. If you wish to retain any files copy them to a temporary location before uninstalling. All program files and directories in the program root directory (normally c:\program files\JSutils\AllOff\) are removed including those created by the program.
