How To Set up Focus Client to Focus Server

Introduction

If Focus Server and Client are not running on the same machine, connect them on the same network, so they can see each other. 

Setting a Password on the Server

1. Launch Focus Server, navigate to the Clients tab, and set a password at the top right.
   
2. After typing in the password, choose the Save icon.
   
3. Take note of the Server Name at the top left of the screen.

Connecting a Client to a Server

1. Launch Focus Client, and navigate to the Settings gear icon. 
   
2. Choose the Server tab.
3. Choose the Server name that you want to connect to, enter the password, and choose Connect. 
   If you cannot change the password, click the Disconnect button, and then try again. 
4. If you don't see any server names displayed under the Discovered servers section:
   • Click Advanced, and switch the server to Remote.
   • Enter the IP address of the Local machine, i.e. the laptop running Focus server, in the URL section. Note: You can also find the IP address of the local machine on the Focus server application beside Network IPs.
     
   • Finally, enter the password set on the Focus server and click Connect.
5. When the server connects, the circle will turn green.
   
6. Click Save.
