Disabling offline mode

It is possible for users to switch between Online and Offline mode directly from the shortcut menu of the Meridian Application Integration icon in their system tray as shown in the following figure.

Many organizations do not want this option available to users, so it can be cleared via a server registry key. Create a new DWORD value named DisableOfflineSwitch in the following registry key on the client computer:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cyco\<Active Product>\CurrentVersion\Client

Set this new value to 1. After this registry key has been added, the next time the client computers are restarted, the Offline Mode option will be cleared. You can also stop Meridian Application Integration with the Close menu item on its menu, and restart it from the Windows Start menu.

Note    Offline mode must be enabled for the Meridian CAD application links to work remotely with Web Access. For more information, see Preparing the remote access client computers.
