Connections

The Connections in Splashtop Secure Workspace provides an overview of the connections between your machine, connectors, and the target edge. It includes a visual map that displays the latency between your machine and the edge location. The page also features two cards at the top, Connector Card and Client Card.

If the logged-in user is not an administrator, the Connector card will not be visible to them. Regular users without administrative privileges will still be able to view and manage their connections to target edges, but they will not have access to the Connector settings or be able to perform administrative tasks related to connector. The visibility and accessibility of the Connector are restricted to administrators only.

Connector Card

The left card displays information about the target edge connected by the connector. It includes the country, city, public IP address of the edge, and the latency between your machine and the edge. At the bottom of the card, the connector status is indicated as either connected or disconnected. Clicking on the connector card will take you to the Connector, where you can manage the connector's settings and connections.

Client Card

The right card represents the desktop client and provides information about the target edge it connects to.This means that all the apps launched from this client will connect to this connected edge. It shows the edge's information, including the country city, public IP address of the edge, and the latency between your machine and the edge. The card also indicates the current connection status of the desktop client. Clicking on the client card will open a new window for managing client connections.

Manage Client Connections

In the "Manage Client Connections" window, you can view the status of the current connections from the client to the target edge. This means that all the apps launched from this client will connect to the same connected edge. The window displays the status of the connected edge and offers an option called "Quick Connect." Enabling Quick Connect allows the client to automatically select the fastest available edge for optimal performance. If Quick Connect is disabled, you can manually choose the desired edge from the list of all edges.

Quick Connect and Manage Client Connections Buttons

At the bottom of the Connections page, there are two buttons:

1. Quick Connect: Click this button to toggle the Quick Connect option on or off. Enabling Quick Connect ensures that the client automatically selects the fastest available edge for app connections.
2. Manage Client Connections: Click this button to open the "Manage Client Connections" popup window, where you can view and manage the client's connections to different edges.

Conclusion

The Connections in Splashtop Secure Workspace provides a visual representation of the connections between your machine, connectors, and the target edge. It offers convenient access to manage connector settings, view the connector status, and control the client's connections to different edges. The ability to enable Quick Connect and manually select edges gives you flexibility in optimizing your app connections for the best performance.
