Auto Connect Options

There is the ability to configure some automatic connection tasks when launching the Biamp Canvas software. This facilitates the end user not having to undertake any configuration steps when they first open the software.

Enable Auto Connect

For any of the Auto connect functions to operate the Enable Auto Connect tick-box must be enabled.

• Enable Auto-Connect allows the specific computer to automatically connect to a Biamp Canvas controlled system.

• Auto-Connect when –AC specified on command line allows only specific Biamp Canvas shortcuts to employ Auto-Connect. A Shortcut can be created with the addition of a -AC:[SystemID] [User:userID] ["LocalSurfacePath"] in the shortcut target. The full path will be "C:\Program Files (x86)\BiampCanvas\BiampCanvas.exe -AC:[SystemID] [User:userID] ["LocalSurfacePath"]"

• Auto-Connect on Launch forces an Auto-Connect whenever Biamp Canvas is started.

• Add Shortcut will add a shortcut to the Startup Folder, the "Run" Registry Key, or the Desktop. Shortcuts in Startup or "Run" Registry will start Biamp Canvas when the user logs in.

• Auto-Connect Override Password allows entry of password for protection against Alt key overrides.

System Connection Settings

Allows the defining of the System ID and Username.

• ID is unique and is defined as part of the Main Tesira design file.

• Username has to be a valid user as defined in the Edit User Accounts

• Use local control surface references a control surface on the specified filepath.

Application Startup Mode

System Disconnect and Failure Action

• System Disconnect Action selects behavior when user disconnects.

• Connection Failure Action selects behavior when attempted connection fails (includes entry of customized failure message).

Startup Delay

• Startup Delay allows for wireless network devices which may be slower to initialize, by adding up to 120 seconds of manual delay before Auto-Connect startup will time-out.
