Running PortServer to enable remote operation
PortSever allows you to control a Profile XP remotely using Ethernet. If you want to
control or configure the Profile XP over the Ethernet network from a remote system,
or transfer media to or from a Profile XP system through the video network, you must
have PortServer running on all remote Profile XP systems before performing these
operations.
After starting PortServer, see the Profile XP User Manual for instructions on how to
connect to a remote Profile XP system in the Profile application you are using.
To start PortServer to enable remote operation over Ethernet:
Start PortServer by double-click the PortServer desktop shortcut or choose Start |
Profile Applications | PortServer .
The PortServer shortcut is set up to run minimized. Notice, the PortServer icon
label on the taskbar dynamically displays the number of remote connections
The Portserver window also displays the number of remote connections to the
Profile XP system as well as other communications related messages.
PortServer must be left running on all remote systems as long as remote access is
needed.
