Modify how the host interacts with your local network and manages its connection.

1. Create a Host Preference Package, as follows:
   1. In LogMeIn Central, go to the Configuration > Host Preferences page.
   2. Select Add Package.

      Result: The New Host Preference Package page is displayed.

   3. Name your new Host Preference Package.
   4. Select Save.
2. Under Category, select Network.
3. Under General Settings you have the following options:

   Option	Description
   Maximum number of servicing threads	Specify the maximum number of threads the host can spawn to service client connections. This feature is useful if you have multiple users making simultaneous Dashboard, Main Menu, or File Manager connections to an important server. Remember: Only one Remote Control or Remote View session is allowed at a time. Restart the host service on the host to implement the change. The default value (50) should be enough to handle up to 10 concurrent sessions to a single host. Additional incoming sockets will be rejected and a log entry will report Socket refused, no more than 50 connections allowed.
   Idle time allowed	Set the amount of time that can pass without activity in the host before a remote control session is disconnected.
   File Transfer Compression	Choose the compression level to apply to data transferred from the host during remote control, including files transferred using the File Manager feature.
   Detect and download updates automatically	Select this option if you want the host to check for the latest version of the host software. The host user will be prompted to update if a new version is found.
   Install downloaded updates when LogMeIn is idle	Select this option to ensure that host updates are only installed when the host is not in use. This protects users from losing active sessions. The host must restart itself (but not the host computer) after applying a software update. If this is done while the host is busy (for example, during an active remote control session or while a file transfer is in progress) then the connection will be dropped during the restart.
   Enable 'Wake On LAN' from sleep and power off	Allow the host to be powered on when all host Wake On LAN prerequisites are met. See Wake a LogMeIn host computer using Wake On LAN

4. Continue to add settings to the Host Preference Package. When ready, select Finish and Save.
5. Assign the Host Preference Package to computers or groups, as follows:
   1. In LogMeIn Central, go to the Configuration > Host Preferences page.
   2. Select Edit or Click here to assign next to the Host Preference Package you want to assign.
   3. Choose computers and groups using the left and right arrows.
   4. Select Save.
