DW Spectrum 3.0
Rev. 072017 Page | 12
DW Spectrum automatically detects and displays the Systems in local networks. Also it displays Systems that have
been recently accessed. Those Systems are called Local and can be accessed by username and password.
DW Spectrum Client can connect to Systems that have different version. If System is incompatible with Client, then its
version is displayed in yellow. See "Launching DW Spectrum in Compatibility Mode" for details.
Finally, if User is logged into DW Cloud Account (see "Connecting as Cloud User"), it displays Cloud Systems as well. No
login credentials are needed in this case.
Systems that are unavailable at the moment, are marked grey and can be deleted.
To search the specific System, use the search bar. To scroll Systems, use navigation arrows.
If System is not displayed in the welcome screen, it is possible to connect to a specific Server using its IP address. See
"Connecting to Specific Server".
IMPORTANT. Compatible hardware supports Safe Mode Booting. The hardware boots up in Safe Mode if
something has happened during a previous boot. In this case it is possible to connect to Server, but it is not allowed
to perform any configurations.
If User is not connected to System, he can use Client as Media Player (see "Playing Back Local Files in DW Spectrum")
and Screen Recorder (see "Screen Recording (Windows Only)").
