If using eZ-TOMAS Remote, the version numbers of eZ-TOMAS Remote and eZ-TOMAS
must match.
If using eZ-TOMAS Remote, be aware that an effective firewall will likely alert the
eZ-TOMAS host application when eZ-TOMAS Remote is trying to monitor information or
take control; and will block such remote attempts. We recommend that you maintain
firewall protection; however, you will need to set your firewall to allow access to
eZ-TOMAS Remote. As used here, providing firewall access means making ports used by
clients and servers open [on both ends].
