When this box is checked, connection workflow 1 is configured.
When it is un‑checked, connection workflow 2 is configured.
The connection workflows are as follows:
• Connection Workflow 1 – Prompts the end user for the Login Code displayed on the output of
the ShareLink Pro to which they want to connect. The EDS Client (mobile device running
ShareLink Pro software) then passes the Login Code entered by the end user to the EDS Host
device. The EDS Host then responds with the connection information of the ShareLink Pro device
associated with the received Login Code in its internal database.
This workflow effectively reduces the connection workflow to one simple step (enter Login Code)
for the end user.
•
Connection Workflow 2 – Proceed directly to the main device discovery page as usual but
populate the page with the list of devices stored in the EDS Host's internal database in addition to
any devices discovered in the local subnet and any previously manually added devices.
In this case, the EDS Host provides a copy of its internal database to the mobile device running
ShareLink Pro software.
This workflow offers a cross‑subnet device discovery solution in applications where it is preferred
to operate without a Login Code or for users that prefer the traditional device discovery workflow.
In other words, the end user is no longer restricted to being able to discover ShareLink Pro
devices only on the local subnet.
NOTE: This is a global setting, meaning that the EDS Host instructs all mobile devices operating
as EDS Clients to either prompt end user for Login Code (workflow 1) or to proceed directly to the
device discovery page (workflow 2).
