That's all there is to it. LogMeIn is easy to set up. When you use LogMeIn Ignition to access your LogMeIn computers, there is almost no extra set-up required: no firewall settings to be updated, no router configurations to be made, no ports to be opened or re-routed, and no need for static IP addresses.
The Log In screen is displayed. 2. On the Log In screen, type your LogMeIn user name and password.
3. To save your LogMeIn user name and password, select Remember login. The next time you start Ignition you will go directly to your computer list without typing your user name and password. See also How to Manage Saved Login Details on page 32. 4. Tap Log Me In to log in to your account. The computer list is displayed. You can now make a connection to any computer listed as Online. See Working with Computers in Your LogMeIn Account on page 8.
Ignition Example: Control your Work Computer from your Mobile Device
You want to use your phone to access your work computer while on vacation. From anywhere, create a LogMeIn account On your work computer, install LogMeIn host software (LogMeIn Pro or LogMeIn Free) On your phone or tablet, install LogMeIn Ignition On your phone or tablet, use LogMeIn Ignition to access your work computer

Note: To show only online computers, on the My Computer page, tap the Settings (gear) button and slide Show Offline Computers to OFF. The computer is ready for a wake-up signal via Wake On LAN. This is displayed when a computer is asleep and meets all Wake On LAN requirements. These computers are not shown if you are filtering out offline computers. For more information, see How to Wake a Computer in Sleep Mode or Powered Off Using Wake On LAN on page 13.

3. Authenticate yourself to the host by entering your computer user name and password or Computer Access Code. See Access Code? Password? About Authentication on page 12. If the host computer is not a member of a domain, leave the Domain field blank. Generally home computers are not in a domain.
11
4. To save the user name and password you use to authenticate to the host, slide Remember login to ON. This saves you from tapping your username and password the next time you connect to the same computer. See also How to Manage Saved Login Details on page 32. 5. Tap Log In. You will be connected to the host computer. Having password problems? If your password or Computer Access Code contains two or more consecutive spaces, exit Ignition and turn off the "." Shortcut feature on your iPhone or iPad under Settings > General > Keyboard.
When will you be asked for a Computer Access Code? Do you go straight to the operating system (Windows or Mac) without entering a user name and password when you start your computer? If so, then you must enter a Computer Access Code when attempting to connect remotely. Important: Do not lose your Computer Access Code. It can be changed from the host itself, but cannot be retrieved!
12
Advanced Users: In Windows, the Computer Access Code is actually linked to a hidden Administrator account called LogMeInRemoteUser. The Computer Access Code is the password for the user LogMeInRemoteUser. Example: Computer Access Code Let's assume that your home computer is not configured to require authentication. You just start it and go. You install LogMeIn on your home computer. When you try to connect remotely via LogMeIn you will be asked to enter the Computer Access Code that you created when you added the computer to your LogMeIn account.
How to Wake a Computer in Sleep Mode or Powered Off Using Wake On LAN
When all requirements are met, you will be able to use Wake On LAN to switch on a computer that is in sleep mode (PC and Mac) or powered off (PC). Review this checklist to ensure that you will be able to use the Wake On LAN feature. Is there at least one other LogMeIn host on the same LAN that is online and available? Is Wake On LAN enabled on the host? From the host, open LogMeIn and follow this path: Options > Preferences > Advanced Settings. Under Wake On LAN, make sure that Enable 'Wake On LAN' from sleep and power off is selected.
Do you want to wake a PC that is powered off? For a Windows host that is powered off (but still plugged in), confirm that Wake On LAN is enabled in the computer's BIOS. Tip: Consult the user guide of your computer or motherboard to locate the appropriate BIOS switch, usually Wake On LAN from S5.
Do you want to wake a Mac? Enable the following setting: System preferences > Energy saver > Options tab > Wake for Ethernet network administrator access. Confirm that the computer is on a wired network. Wake On LAN is not supported for Mac hosts on a wireless network. Confirm that the Mac is in sleep mode and not powered off. You cannot wake a Mac that is powered off.
Is the host in a supported sleep mode? Stand-by, sleep, or hibernation (ACPI specification S3 or S4).
All set? Any computer in your account that is ready for Wake On LAN will show the Switch on this computer button. Click the button to wake the computer. It may take several minutes for the computer to wake.

About Security and LogMeIn Ignition
LogMeIn Ignition provides secure access to your LogMeIn computers. LogMeIn Ignition utilizes all of the advanced security measures that LogMeIn users have come to know and trust. All data and applications remain on the computers you are accessing via LogMeIn Ignition. Even if your device running LogMeIn Ignition is lost or stolen, LogMeIn Ignition can only be used by entering a valid LogMeIn account name and password. If someone finds your lost device and somehow manages to open LogMeIn Ignition and authenticate to the LogMeIn gateway, all host computers will still be protected by LogMeIn's standard security protocols. See LogMeIn Security - An In Depth Look for additional information concerning LogMeIn's security architecture.

Troubleshooting
For troubleshooting assistance, visit the Knowledge Base. Tip: The LogMeIn Community is an excellent source of information from other LogMeIn users.
If it is Enabled but offline, switch the host off and then back on by clicking the power button twice.
34
If it is Enabled but offline, switch the host off and then back on by clicking the power button twice. Is the host computer connected to the Internet? Make sure that the computer you want to control is connected to the Internet. LogMeIn requires an "always on" Internet connection such as DSL, Cable, or T1. Is some other software interfering with LogMeIn? Security software on the host computer may block LogMeIn and cause the system to appear offline. Check to see if the host computer is running a firewall such as Norton Internet Security, or an anti-spyware program such as AOL Spyware Protection. You must configure your security software to allow LogMeIn to access the Internet.
