Configuring Primary, Secondary, and Automatic Connections
You can designate connections as primary or secondary. A primary connection is the first attempted in
a group of connections. Secondary connections are attempted if the primary connection fails, and
attempt to connect in their listed order. You can assign several primary connections, each with several
associated secondary connections. By default, any new connection is designated as primary.
If you have primary and secondary connections, you can expand primary connections by clicking ►, or
collapse them by clicking ▼.
You can set primary connections to automatically connect when HP ThinConnect starts up.
