Link-Live Cloud Service

Link-Live Access

The Link-Live app is disabled when the Link-Live Access feature is disabled. All NetAlly apps and services that provide an interface to Link-Live will remove access.

NOTE: The Link-Live Remote feature and the App Store app are also disabled when Link-Live Access is disabled.

Link-Live Cloud/Public

This setting must be disabled to use Link-Live Private/On-Premises. Disable this setting only when your organization has deployed a private instance of Link-Live. Once Link-Live Public is disabled here in Feature Access, Private Link-Live Settings become available in the Link-Live app navigation drawer. Consult your IT organization for setting details.

Download from App Store

The App Store app is disabled when the Download from App Store feature is disabled. Adding additional apps to the product is not possible.

NOTE: Disabling Link-Live Access also disables the App Store app.

Removable Storage

USB Access

Both the USB Type-A port on the top of the unit and the Type-C port on the left side of the unit are deactivated when the USB Access feature is disabled. This means that there can be no data transfer in either direction via these ports and that external devices cannot receive power from these ports.

NOTE: The USB Type-C port continues to function to support powering the unit using the AC adapter.

Connectivity Apps

Browser App

The Chromium browser is removed if you disable the Browser App feature. All NetAlly apps that normally provide access to the Chromium browser remove that option. Other apps cannot access the browser.

NOTE: If you re-enable the Browser App feature, the Chromium browser, User Guide, and Video apps are restored but do not appear on the Home screen. See Apps for more information about the Apps screen.

Telnet/SSH App

The JuiceSSH app, which provides Telnet and SSH client services, is removed when the Telnet/SSH App feature is disabled. All NetAlly apps that normally provide access to this app remove this option.

Remote Control

VNC

The ability to remotely access and control the product UI using a standalone VNC client is deactivated when the VNC feature is disabled. See Remote Access for more information about this capability.

NOTE: The Link-Live Remote feature remains active when VNC is disabled. To deactivate Link-Live Remote, Link-Live Access must be disabled.

Wireless

Management Wi-Fi

The internal Wi-Fi Management Port, which runs on the main system's 1x1 Dual-band 802.11ac + Bluetooth 5.0 wireless adapter and external Wi-Fi adapters, is deactivated when the Management Wi-Fi feature is disabled. All NetAlly apps that normally provide access to the Wi-Fi management port will remove access to the port.

NOTE: See Test and Management Ports for more information.

Bluetooth

The internal Bluetooth Port, which runs on the main system's 1x1 Dual-band 802.11ac + Bluetooth 5.0 wireless adapter, is deactivated when the Bluetooth feature is disabled. Peripheral access and data transfer over Bluetooth is not possible.

Documenting

Packet Capture

The Capture app is disabled when the Packet Capture feature is disabled. All NetAlly apps that normally provide access to the Capture app will remove this option.

NOTE: See Capture for more information.

Network Discovery

The Upload to Link-Live or Save Locally function in the Discovery and Wi-Fi apps are disabled.

NOTE: See Discovery for more information.
