Setting Your Bonjour Preference
Bonjour is a zero-configuration networking client that allows you to detect the IP addresses of any ControlPads on a
local area network. In essence, it allows you to set up a network without any configuration. Bonjour is free, and widely
available for download.
Each time you open DCS, it detects whether you have Bonjour installed, and if DCS cannot find Bonjour on your PC,
you receive the option to download Bonjour (FIG. 33).
Selecting Yes closes DCS, opens your default web browser, and takes you to the Bonjour website so you can download
and install the software. If you do not want to use Bonjour to detect your ControlPads, you can disable Bonjour.
Disabling Bonjour before installing it also stops the prompts asking you to install it whenever you open DCS. Perform
these steps to set your Bonjour preference:
1. From the Tools menu, select Bonjour Preference. The Bonjour Preference dialog opens (FIG. 34).
2. Select Enable Bonjour or Disable Bonjour depending on the option you want.
3. Click OK.
You may experience scaling issues with the AMX DCS user interface if you use Large
or Extra Large fonts with a low resolution display. Adjusting your resolution to a
standard DPI setting should resolve these issues.
