Quick connect in HACP EE

​Introduction
The Quick-connect feature in HACP EE (Host Access Client Package Extended Edition) enables Users to connect to the host sessions and use the product as a trial version, even without Login credentials and configured page.

Login credentials and configured page.

• For Config-based model, Users can navigate to Quick-Connect, by clicking on ‘Continue as Guest’ option in the Login Page.
• For HTML model, the Quick-Connect page will be displayed if a User attempts to launch an unconfigured page.

• Destination Port.
• Destination Address.
• Screen Size,
• Workstation ID for 5250.
