Using the 9400 PC Remote Control Software
9400 PC Remote control software allows you to access any front-panel 9400 control.
In addition, you can access all of the Advanced Modify controls that are unavailable
from the 9400’s front panel. The software also gives you the ability to back up user
presets, system files, and automation files on your computer’s storage devices (hard
drives, floppy drives, etc.) and to restore them later to your 9400.
The 9400 PC Remote software can connect to your 9400 via modem, direct serial ca-
ble connection, or Ethernet network. It communicates with your 9400 via the TCP/IP
protocol, regardless of how it is connected to your 9400.
PC Remote works best on displays of 1024x768 pixels or higher. Scroll
bars will appear when using lower resolutions.
Before running 9400 PC Remote, you must have installed the appropriate Windows
communications services on your computer. By default, the installer installs a short-
cut to 9400PC.exe on your desktop and in your Start Menu under Orban\Optimod
9400.
9400 PC Remote can control only one 9400 at a time but it can readily switch be-
tween several 9400s. 9400 PC Remote has a built-in “address book” that allows it to
select and connect to:
any 9400 on the same network as the PC,
a 9400 that can be accessed through a modem connected to the PC via dial-up
networking, and,
a 9400 that is connected directly to the PC’s serial port.
Before your PC can communicate with a given 9400, you must first set up a “connec-
tion,” which is information that allows PC Remote to locate and communicate with
the 9400.
To set up a new connection:
A) Launch 9400PC.exe.
B) Create a new 9400 connection by choosing N
EW 9400 from the CONNECT file
menu or by right-clicking on the A
LL CONNECTIONS icon in the Connections List
and selecting N
EW 9400.
The Connection Properties dialog box opens.
C) Enter an Alias name for your 9400 (like “KABC”).
D) Leave the password field blank to prompt the user to enter a password when
initiating a connection.
