# Connection
## Connection
To use OWO’s SDK the first step is to establish the connection with the OWO App. There are many ways to establish it:
* **Configure**: This method prepares a game auth for your game, it must be called before using the OWO SDK.
{% hint style="danger" %}
**Important:** Before attempting to connect you **must** have called the Configure blueprint.
{% endhint %}
* **Update Status**: This must be called periodically in order to establish a connection and to listen for disconnections. It needs the current game time in milliseconds.
* **Manual connection**: The user must enter the IP that the OWO App provides when pressing the Play button.
* **Automatic IP connection**: Through the Autoconnect function, the OWOController' class will prepare itself to connect to any available OWO App. Calling UpdateStatus is still necessary.
* **Disconnection**: Call the Disconnect blueprint to close an established connection
* **Connection Status**: Get the current connection status in the form of an enum
* **Start Scan**: Searches the local network for available devices to connect to. It works like UpdateStatus.
* **Get Available Servers**: Returns the list of available devices that Scan Devices found in the local network.
* **MultiConnect**: It is possible to connect to multiple OWO Apps at the same time through the use of the Multi Connect blueprint.
