GENERAL OPERATION
About Mbox Remote
The Mbox Remote application is used for remote monitoring and management of the Mbox application.
The Remote application is included with the Mbox software and can also be used on any Mac®
computer (running Snow
Leopard® OSX 10.6.7 or greater
) to monitor/manage from a remote location.
Mbox Daemon
It is important to note that Mbox Daemon software is required on all servers to enable remote feedback
to both Mbox Remote and to CITP/MSEX-enabled devices. When Mbox launches, it will automatically
launch the last version of Mbox Daemon used on that computer.
To set the network port that Mbox and Daemon will use to communicate with external monitoring
devices (like Remote or CITP-enabled consoles and visualizers), use the CITP pop-up on the Mbox
Setup tab as shown below:
Mbox Daemon is also required on any computer running Mbox Remote that is ALSO acting as a Master from the point
of view of Content Management. (Refer to
on page 11 for more information.)
When only running Mbox Remote and Daemon, the Interface (port) must be set using the pop-up available in the
Daemon window (not in the Mbox Setup window above).
