The Desktop Client is a Windows application, but you can also start and connect devices from the command line. You open the desktop client by executing the desktop client exe from the command line.

By default, the exe is in the following directory:

:::BlockQuote
C:\Users\\{user}\AppData\Local\Krontech\SingleConnect Desktop Client\Krtsc.exe
:::

When you execute the command below, the  Desktop Client application opens. Be sure to replace the {user} with the actual value.
