11. GENERAL NOTES

11.1 User name and Password
In the Sign In dialog, type your network user name and password, or a user name and password that has been set up for you on the GO-Global Host. See your system administrator for more information.

11.2 Host address
In the Connection dialog, type the host name of the GO-Global Host. If your client doesn't recognize Windows host names, you can type the IP Address of the GO-Global Host instead.

11.3 User Authentication
The GO-Global Host first tries to authenticate users on the local machine, followed by the local machine's domain, and lastly on trusted domains. You can override this default behavior and specify a specific domain by typing the domain name followed by a backslash and your network user name in the User name box of the Sign In dialog. For example, NORTHjohnw.

11.4 Client File Access
GO-Global allows users to access files stored on the client computer and to save files locally. Client drives are designated with a Client prefix. For example, Client A (J:), Client C (K:). To open or save a file locally, select the desired local drive from the drop-down menu of the Open or Save As dialog box. See your system administrator for more information.

11.5 Client Clipboard
GO-Global allows client and server-based applications to exchange information using the clipboard. You can cut and copy information from applications running on your client machine and paste it into applications running on a GO-Global Host, and vice versa. See your system administrator for more information.

11.6 Session Reconnect
Session reconnect allows sessions to be maintained on a GO-Global Host without a client connection. If your connection to the server is lost, intentionally or unintentionally, your session and applications remain running on the GO-Global Host for the length of the time specified by the administrator.

Through the Program Window, you can disconnect rather than exit from GO-Global, and you will be able to return to your session in the exact state you left it. To disconnect a session, click File | Disconnect. If the administrator has not enabled the session reconnect feature, the Disconnect option will not appear in the Program Window's File menu.
