What software can you use with VPN connectivity only?

Once you have connected to your LLCC office computer via VPN and Remote Desktop Connection (RDC), you may be wondering how you can view the device you are physically using while working remotely. You have the ability to minimize the RDC, without disconnecting, while working from a PC or Mac.

For detailed instructions, please visit the Remote Access Document Library > Remote Desktop Connection folder or view a video on the Office 365 IT Services channel.

Windows Device

1. At the top of the Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) screen you will see a control bar with your computer name or IP address.
2. To the far right of the control bar you will see three icons.
3. Select the _ to minimize your RDC and return to your physical device. The RDC is not closed.
4. Select the RDC icon to return to your LLCC computer workstation.
5. Select the double box to restore down. This will allow you to see both your physical desktop and the RDC in a window.
6. Select the single box (maximize) to restore the full screen RDC.
7. Select the X to close the RDC.
8. OK to disconnect. This will allow you to remain logged into your local computer and disconnect.

Mac Device

You will not see a control bar at the top of your screen.

1. Move your mouse over the Dock on the Mac (if in full screen mode, you should see it appear).
2. Select the Windows Remote Desktop app to return to the Mac desktop.
3. Click on the Windows Remote Desktop app to return to your LLCC workstation.

Focused Inbox separates your inbox into two tabs — Focused and Other. Your most important email messages are on the Focused tab while the rest remain easily accessible — but out of the way — on the Other tab. You can turn Focused Inbox On via Outlook Desktop (your office computer), Outlook 365 (web version) or the Outlook app installed onto your Smart Device.

For detailed instructions, please visit the Remote Access Document Library > Outlook folder.

Outlook Desktop

1. Open Outlook, select the View tab.
2. Select Show Focused Inbox.

The Focused and Other tabs will appear at the top of your mailbox. You’ll be informed about email flowing to Other, and you can switch between tabs any time to take a quick look.

Outlook 365

1. Open Outlook 365 (web version)
2. In the top right corner of Outlook, select the Settings icon.
3. Select the toggle next to Focused Inbox.

The Focused and Other tabs will appear at the top of your mailbox. You’ll be informed about email flowing to Other, and you can switch between tabs any time to take a quick look.

Outlook App on Smart Device

1. Open the Outlook app on your device.
2. Select your picture or initials in the upper left corner.
3. Select Settings (gear icon)

There are essentially two ways that you can forward your office phone. This would be from your physical office at an LLCC location or via the Skype for Business software. Skype for Business can be accessed by VPN and Remote Desktop Connection to your office PC or from the Skype for Business app installed on your personal device.

All documents can be viewed on the Employee Portal > IT > Remote Access Knowledge Base page. The folders for VPN and Remote Desktop Connection contain detailed steps on how to connect and Skype for Business on how to install.

Please note: If you are a member of the Response Group for your department (meaning that you also answer incoming calls to your office phone for a group, Ex. IT Helpdesk, Registration), you should NOT forward your phone via Skype to a personal device. This will not forward the Response Group calls, and you will have inadvertently removed yourself from the Response Group.

To forward from Skype for Business your LLCC PC:

1. Open Skype for Business on your office PC — VPN and Remote Desktop Connection needed first.
   • Select the down arrow to the right of the gear icon.
   • Hover the mouse over Tools.
   • Select Call Forwarding Settings.
2. Select the radial button Forward my calls to:
   1. Select the drop-down arrow to the right of Voice Mail.
   2. Select New Number or Contact.
   3. Enter the phone number in the Forward Calls window, including area code.
      1. Select OK.
3. Select OK to save settings.
4. A message indicates calls are being forwarded; Turn Off to stop.
