2.3 Connecting a Remote Client to a WinAQMS Mini DAS
A remote WinAQMS Mini DAS client is able to connect to different WinAQMS Mini
DAS servers (a compatible server/client version is required). In this way a single
computer with the WinAQMS Mini DAS Client software installed can oversee the
operation of multiple mini DAS. If WinAQMS Mini DAS is started using the start
menu or a standard shortcut it will attempt to connect to a running WinAQMS Mini
DAS Server process on the local computer. If you want to connect to a DAS using a
dialup connection or if you want to connect to different WinAQMS Mini DAS you
need to enter a special command line when starting WinAQMS Mini DAS so that it
gives you a choice of DAS to choose from. To do this click on Start, then Run. Delete
any text in the box and replace it with the following line (including quotes).
“C:\Program Files\WinAQMS\Client\WinAQMSClient.exe” /ask
Then click on OK. This will tell the WinAQMS Mini DAS Client software to start in
a mode where it waits for a connection request from the user before it tries to connect
to a remote server. WinAQMS Mini DAS will start up and display a window similar
to Figure 11 below;
