Runtime connection and registration
A device can be connected to a network and to a domain, whereas its license needs to be registered. To activate Runtime, a license registration is mandatory.
Windows device connection
Once Runtime is installed and running on the remote device, proceed as follows to connect:
- Click on the Windows Runtime icon. The Windows Runtime pane will display the Network Connection section.
Note: See Windows Runtime installation and configuration to learn how to start Runtime.
- Click on the Connect button and wait until a connection is established.
- If the remote device is not registered to any domain yet, Windows Runtime will display an ID with a password used for device registration to the domain.
- To register the Runtime of the remote device, log on to COMBIVIS connect Manager using a user account with administration rights.
- Access the section and open the folder where you wish to store the remote device and click on the Add resource (circled plus) button, then select Add device.
- Select Add device remotely and enter the remote device ID and password obtained when selecting Connect on the Windows Runtime pane (see step 3).
Note: You can check whether a device is registered both through the COMBIVIS connect Manager
on the right pane of the section, or on the Windows Runtime, on the Information
(circled 'i' icon) section.
Keep-alive feature
The data exchanged for the keep-alive feature between Runtime and the server infrastructure and between COMBIVIS connect Manager and the server infrastructure is approximately 1 KB per minute.
