Download the VNC host/server software to your Kangaroo Mobile Desktop.
Download the VNC client/viewer software to your remote device.
Make sure your Kangaroo Mobile Desktop computer is not connected to another Wi-Fi network.
Slide the Action Switch to activate Wi-Fi Direct (notice the blue LED next to the Action Switch is illuminated, and the
presence of the Action Switch icon in the Windows taskbar notification area).
Connect your remote device to the Wi-Fi network being broadcast from your Kangaroo Mobile Desktop computer.
Activate the Host/Server software installed on your Kangaroo Mobile Desktop.
Activate the Client/Viewer software installed on your remote device.
Note:
Once the VNC software is activated on both Host and Client devices all you need to establish the connection is a common set of credentials (IP address,
authentication pass code, or the username and password of the Host computer). Each VNC software differs slightly in its secure authentication methods, so
this will require a basic understanding the VNC software that you've installed.
The following example assumes you have already installed the relevant VNC software on both the Kangaroo Mobile Desktop and the Remote device that you
wish to use to control your Kangaroo PC.
Preparing for a Remote Connection
Sliding the Action Switch on the side of the Kangaroo Mobile Desktop activates Wi-Fi Direct Mode, making the Kangaroo
Mobile Desktop visible (as a Wi-Fi AP) to remote computers.
Double-clicking on the Action Switch application icon
(found in Windows Taskbar Notification Area of your Kangaroo
Mobile Desktop) will activate the Action Switch application.
Click the Function menu, and select Set to change the default Net name and Passcode before using (recommended).
Using a Remote Device to Connect to the Kangaroo via Wi-Fi Direct
Enable Wi-Fi on the remote device and connect to the AP signal being broadcast from your Kangaroo Mobile Desktop
computer.
Note, the default name of the AP being broadcast will be "AnywhereAP". If you changed this (as recommended) then
locate the network name and log into the AP using the password you created in the steps above.
Launch the VNC Host/Server software installed on your Kangaroo Mobile Desktop.
Launch the VNC Client/Viewer software installed on your remote device.
Important Note
To establish the connection between the two computers you may be required to specify the IP address or computer name of the Host computer and use
the credentials (username and password) to login using the remote device.
