==========================================================
HanaConnect - ZeroConfiguration
==========================================================
Step 1. Download and install the HanaConnect tool
Step 2. Install the tool and use your Gmail account to login by clicking "Connect". If you do not have Gmail, you can get one from http://www.gmail.com
Step 3. After you see the light become green and connected, start the app, click "Sign in" button in top-right, use the same gmail account to log in.
Step 4. You should see your computer now, tap to connect. Or tap the blue accessory arrow to edit settings such as username and password.
Troubleshooting: (1) if you cannot connect, copy the log and send it to us. It will be great if you can let us know your gmail used for login.

If you do not want to use Gmail to login, please follow the section below to do manual setup.

==========================================================
Easy Setup Instructions
==========================================================
Step 1. Make sure your iPhone/iPad can reach your PC through network. For example, they are on the same home network as your PC (using the same router).

Step 2.
Log in to your Windows PC, download the tool from:
http://www.hanamobiles.com/tools/HanaEasyConfig.exe

Step 3. Run the tool (Allow it to make changes)

Step 4. It should say "Succeeded: Remote desktop has been enabled". Follow the settings given in second part to create a new server settings in the app. If it says "failed" or something in red color, contact us through emails and send us these texts.

Step 5. You should be able to connect.

Extra: If you can connect through WI-FI now and want to connect over 3G, see this instruction: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=22

If you have followed Step 1 to 5 and still cannot connect:
(1) If in step 3, it says "Remote desktop is not supported on this version of Windows". Check your Windows version, if it's XP/Vista/Windows 7 home edition, then the remote desktop is not available since Microsoft has removed it. You can get refund through iTune to return the app.

(2) If you can get to the Windows logon screen, but got error message "Unable to log you because of an account restriction" when log in: Most likely it's because your account does NOT have a password. You can either set a password or disable blank password restrictions by using a policy. See here for instructions: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/303846

(3) If you are running Windows XP or Vista without Service Pack 1, you might need to manually change firewall settings to allow remote desktop connection.

(4) If you are trying to connect to your office Windows PC or your PC is behind a router, and your iPhone/iPad is not on the same local network. You need to modify router settings to add port forwarding to forward port 3389 to your PC.
See here for details: http://helpdeskgeek.com/networking/configure-router-for-remote-desktop/

(5) Have your router accepting wireless to wired connection is very important. It could be the reason why your iPhone/iPad cannot reach Windows PC.
