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
user). 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. Start the program and enter the registration
code to start using AllOff. See Configuration for
details of the parameters that can be varied. By default
the program runs in the System Tray, to access the configuration
screen double click on the tray icon and then click the Configure
button from the main screen. The default
values should be fine for most applications if remote control
is not used. If the program will not work properly check out
the FAQ and Release Notes 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 provided
you allow the installer to overwrite the old configuration
file.
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.
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.
Security
If remote shutdown is used this program may compromise network security, this
depends on the network and any firewall configuration. You will need appropriate
access privileges to the remote computer to use the slave program.
