| 6 | == Language switch == | ||
| 7 | |||
| 8 | Switch the display language of the software through the first drop-down list. Currently, there are two languages: Simplified Chinese, English. | ||
| 9 | |||
| 10 | == Server selection == | ||
| 11 | |||
| 12 | Users can switch servers connected to on the software through the second drop-down list. | ||

| 14 | == User login == | ||
| 15 | |||
| 16 | * Enter the correct account password to log in successfully | ||
| 17 | * If the same account is in differentPCLogin on the different device at the same time, the account logged on the first device will be forced to log off | ||
| 18 | * The view account does not have permission to use the device pass-through function on the home page | ||
| 19 | |||
| 20 | == Remember password == | ||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | * If check this option, after entering the correct password and log in successfully, V-NET Client software would remember the password | ||
| 23 | * Users can select remembered account and password to log in directly through the inputbox drop-down list without repeatedly entering the password | ||
| 24 | |||
| 25 | == Offline mode == | ||
| 26 | |||
| 27 | Users can jump directly to the homepage without entering the account password by clicking Offline-mode. Only some functions are worked in offline mode. Please refer to the corresponding function modules in the following specific contents. | ||
