Enabling and Disabling Remote Access
When remote access is enabled, a user can connect to 3DM over the internet
or an intranet, to check status or administer the controller and associated
drives. (See “Viewing 3DM Remotely Using a Web Browser” on page 75.)
If remote access is disabled and a user attempts to connect to 3DM remotely,
they will see the following error message: “Remote Access to 3DM has been
disabled. Please connect using the local machine by entering “localhost” in
the URL bar.”
Remote access can be enabled or disabled on the 3DM 2 Settings page.
To enable or disable remote access
1 Click 3DM 2 Settings on the menu bar.
2 In the Remote Access section of the 3DM 2 Settings page, select either
Enabled or Disabled in the Allow Remote Connections field.
The page refreshes, and a message at the top of the screen confirms that
remote access has been enabled or disabled.
Setting the Listening Port #
You can set the port which 3DM uses to listen for incoming messages. If you
are not sure which port would be the best to use, leave this set to the default
port of 888.
To set the listening port
1 Click 3DM 2 Settings on the menu bar.
2 In the Listening Port # section of the 3DM 2 Settings page, enter the port
number in the Listening Port field.
3 Click Change Port .
The page refreshes, and a message at the top of the screen confirms that
the listening port has been changed.
The VMware version of 3DM is installed with remote 3DM access enabled by
default, since VMware has no GUI to let you run it locally. If you disable remote
access, you will need to reinstall 3DM in order to be able to connect to it.
