WHAT IS LAN SETTING AND ITS OBJECTIVE
LAN (Local Area Network) setup is developed by connecting two or more than two computers with each other using a physical connection or Wi-Fi in order to share files and data overtime.
As specified above, Spectrum is a multi user software which means the software can be used on multiple systems keeping the data centralized.

on LAN system. The Set up for LAN / Client is available on the www.kdksoftware.com

4. Please ensure that the software is completely closed on the
Server and client system before following the instructions below, otherwise you
may lose your data.
SERVER PROCESS
1. Firstly, share the “K.D.K Software”
folder on SERVER system. It will be available at the Root
location where you have installed the SOFTWARE.
Default
location is: “C:\Program Files\K.D.K. Software” OR "C:\Program Files (x86) \K.D.K.
Software"
SHARING PROCESS:

available in the network.
Steps to Process with LAN setting:
Please
ensure that the SERVER system should
be accessible from the node system and both server\client
systems should be on network.
1. On client system go to the location where the software is installed Default Location : "C:\Program
Files\K.D.K. Software\KDK Support” or “C:\Program Files (x86)\K.D.K.
Software\KDK Support”. Double click on LAN setup.
