If the Web Console user is running on a Macintosh, and it is the first time accessing the Web Console, the following message will appear to notify the user that an installer in the form of a DMG (disk image) file will be downloaded to the Web Console user’s desktop.
Clicking Continue will begin downloading the installer DMG into the Web Console user’s Download folder. Alternatively, if the Master had already been downloaded and installed previously (from a different Web Console, for example), the box labelled “I’ve already downloaded and installed Master” may be checked. Then, after continuing, the next click of a Quick Connect button for a Host will launch the already installed Master application.
Once the installer DMG has been downloaded, it must be opened by clicking the newly downloaded DMG file, located in the Downloads folder. After opening, it will present the installer application. The user should double-click the PC-Duo Master Installer icon to install the application to their Applications folder. Once the application has been installed, it can be launched from the Web Console by clicking on a Host’s QuickConnect link. The first time this is done, the user will see a confirmation message to ensure the application was downloaded and installed correctly.
The user should check the box labelled “Do not display this popup message again” to prevent the confirmation message from appearing again. Clicking Continue will launch the Master application.
The Master DMG installer file can be downloaded manually. This might be required if, for example, the application was removed from the system. To download manually:
· Login to Web Console
· Click on the Browser check button in the menu bar (see Menu Bar section)
· Click the provided download link
