"'Remote
Access is brilliant! As a busy Practice Manager I have the
freedom to log on to my PC when I am away from work.
I can access anything
on my desktop from emails to payroll. The set up was extremely
easy and took a matter of hours!

The Basics
What is the LME product range and why do I need it?
The LME product range lets you access your Windows PC from anywhere
in the world. All you need is a computer connected to the Internet. You see
your Target PC's full desktop and control everything on it—applications,
network files, email, printing — without the hassle of further downloads or
installations. You can even share files that are too large for email.
There's no need to lug around a laptop, because the LME product range lets
you access your PC from an internet café, an
airport, or a hotel business centre. You can even print documents you've
accessed remotely or on a local printer.

Is the LME product range compatible with the Apple Macintosh or
Linux operating system?
A beta preview of the software is currently available for Apple
Macintosh users. There is currently no compatible download for a Target PC
that uses the Linux operating system; but one is expected by end 2007.
However, you can use a local Mac or PC that runs Linux to access a Target PC
that runs Windows.
Note: Some computers have incompatible Java installations and you may
encounter some problems with remote control and file transfer. To make sure
you get the best experience, please make sure you have the latest version of
Java installed on your machine. If you require more help, please
contact LME
support.
There is a temporary problem with accessing LME Target PCs from Apple
Macintoshes that can block the use of remote control and file transfer. We
are currently working on this issue and will be offering a fix very soon.

Your Target PC
How do I restart the LME service on my computer?
If are using LME Web or Bio, you will have to sit in front the
Target PC and reboot it manually. If you are using LME Web or Bio
File/Print, you can restart the LME service while you are remotely connected
to your computer from another machine, as well as when you are actually
sitting in front of it.
If you are remotely connected to your computer from another
machine:
- To restart the LME service on your Target PC during a remote
session, click the Reboot icon on the Main Menu.
- On the list of rebooting options that appears, click the first
option,
Restart LME.
- The restart will take a few moments, after which the LME login
box will appear.
- Enter your Target PC's Windows username and password or your LME
computer password to begin another remote session.
If you are sitting in front of the computer you've installed with
LME:
- Right-click on the LME system tray icon and select Open LME
on the pop-up menu.
- In the dialog box that appears and under the heading
LME is Enabled, click on Disable LME.
- In the second dialog box that appears and underneath the heading
LME is Disabled, click Enable LME.
(back to top)
What is my Computer Access Code?
For users who were prompted to create a LME Computer Access Code
during installation, you need to enter this password to connect to your
Target PC. (If you did not create a code during installation, and this
message appears, click 'More'
and enter your Windows username and password.)
Not sure about where to enter your Computer Access Code? Follow
these instructions:
- To connect remotely to your Target PC, go to www.LMEbio.co.uk.
- Log in using your registered user name and password.
- On the My Computers page, click on the computer you wish to
control remotely.
- The LME remote session login box will appear. Enter your user
name and password for the computer or your Computer Access Code.
- You are now connected to your Target PC and the LME Main Menu
will appear. Click on any menu item to take advantage of remote
access to your PC.
(back to top)
What is my Windows username and password?
Some versions of Windows (2000, XP, Vista, and Windows Server 2003)
requires you to enter a user name and password to use the computer. This is
the user name and password you enter when you are actually sitting in front
of the computer. You will be prompted to enter the same user name and
password to initiate a remote connection to your computer using LME.
(back to top)
Why is my PC shown as "Updating"?
When we change your LME subscription (for example, when we upgrade
you to LME Web or Bio File/Print), this change is automatically communicated
to your computer(s). This process may take a few minutes to complete, during
which time a red hourglass icon will appear and you will not have remote
access to your computer(s). To determine when the update is complete, click
Refresh in your browser. When the red hourglass icon is no longer
visible, you can resume remote access to your computer(s).
(back to top)
Why is my Computer in an Offline status?
This can happen for several reasons. There may be no Internet
connection or the PC is switched off. The LME service may have been disabled
on the host computer or the LME service may enabled, but offline. This last
scenario can happen when a local software firewall such as Norton Internet
Security blocks the LME service, or if the Internet connection needs a
proxy, and it is not properly configured for the LME service to operate
successfully.
(back to top)
How do I get my computer out of Offline status?
The LME service will initially try to reconnect every 1-5 minutes.
After 20 failures, the time between connection attempts will fall to between
5 and 15 minutes. This can be accelerated by disabling and enabling the LME
service on the local computer from the system tray icon.
(back to top)Using File Share
Can I use File Share to share files on networked drives?
Yes you can use File Share to share files on mapped networked
drives.
(back to top)
Do I have to connect remotely to my PC to use File Share?
File Share is a feature of the LME software you install on your
Target PC. You can use the feature while sitting in front of your computer
or during a remote session.
- To use File Share while actually sitting in front of your Target
PC, right-click on the LME system tray icon and select Open LME.
- On the Main Menu, click File Share.
To use File Share during a remote session, simply click the File
Share icon on the Main Menu.
Remember: Your recipients can access the files you share
using File Share only if your Target PC is switched on, connected to the
internet, and has the LME software enabled.
(back to top)
Why did my file disappear when I attempted to transfer it between
my Target and Local PCs?
You may have selected the option to move the file. On the Menu bar
at the top of the File Manager window, click the Transfer drop-down
menu, followed by Copy.
(back to top)
How do I synchronize folders between my Target and Local PCs?
On the Menu bar at the top of the File Manager window, click the
Transfer drop-down menu, followed by Synchronize Current Folders.
This will update the folders on both the Target and Local PCs so that their
contents are the same.
(back to top)
What happens if I lose the connection between my Target and Locals
PCs while transferring a file?
The File Manager function in LME Web or Bio File/Print is able to resume
the transfer of partially transferred files, saving a great deal of the
time.
- Once you are reconnected, simply select the files to transfer again.
LME Pro will detect that the file has already been partially transferred
and will ask you is you would like to overwrite the file, resume or
cancel.
- Selecting Resume will continue transferring the file
from the point at which the original connection was interrupted.
(back to top)Security
Is the LME product range secure and what is SSL?
Yes, the LME product range has been assessed as meeting acceptable
criteria for secure remote access. To prevent unauthorized access, the LME
product range requires you to enter separate passwords to access both your
LME account and your Target PC's Windows login. The LME product range uses
128 and 256-bit encryption to protect your passwords and data. It also
includes such active defence features as IP filtering and IP address
lockout.
SSL, or Secure Sockets Layer, is a protocol used to encrypt data
transmitted over the Internet. The SSL protocol is used by web sites that
request confidential data such as credit card numbers or other private
information. Web sites that use the SSL protocol have URLs that begin with
https: rather than the standard
http:. LME uses SSL to protect the data you transmit when
accessing your computers remotely, as indicated by the padlock icon that
appears when you visit the LME web site.
(back to top)
Can I blank the screen of the computer I am remote controlling?
As part of our security measures, we blank the computer screen of
the computer you are remote controlling as a default. If you ever find this
is not working, simply do the following:
- In the left-side navigation pane, select Preferences.
- Next, click Remote Control.
- Under the Security tab, check to enable or disable Host
Screen Blanking.
Note: Under Preferences you can also disable the mouse and
the keyboard of the Target PC.
(back to top)
Can I control who will be able to remotely access my computer(s)?
While the LME service enables you or your Secondary Users to access
your computer from anywhere, it also enables you to prevent unauthorized
access. Your LME product requires you to enter separate passwords to access
both your LME account and your Target PC's Windows login.
LME also uses 128 and 256-bit encryption to protect your passwords
and data and includes such active defence features as IP filtering and
lockout.
