NfREMOTE CLIENT SOFTWARE
♦
The
Connection Type
dropdown menu determines whether the connection is
Outbound
(NfRemote
initiates connection to Omnia.7) or Inbound (Omnia.7 listens for an incoming connection request from
an instance of NfRemote). Note that the IP addresses of inbound connections are enclosed by chevrons.
♦
It is possible to stream audio from the Omnia.7 to a remote PC using NfRemote.
The Audio Streaming
dropdown menu enables this feature and determines the type of data compression used to deliver the
audio as well as the oscilloscope, RTA, and FFT display information.
¸
Automatic
chooses the best audio format based upon connection speed.
¸
Off
completely disables audio streaming and the client-side oscilloscope, RTA, and FFT displays.
¸
Force Lossy
enables lossy streaming even on connections that are on the border of being too slow and
forces lossy streaming even on fast connections.
¸
Force Lossless
enables lossless streaming even on connections that are too slow. This choice is best
reserved for local networks with sufficient bandwidth to support it.
♦
Clicking on the
Connect
button will initiate a connection to Omnia.7 whose IP address is currently
displayed.
♦
The
Clear
button removes all information from the Comment, IP Address, and Password fields.
♦
The
Add
button collects the current Comment, IP Address, and Password information and carries it to the
bottom of the window where it is saved for easy recall later.
♦
The
Update
button refreshes the list of saved connections.
♦
Clicking on the
Delete
button will remove the selected connection from the list.
♦
The
Move Up and Move Down
buttons will move the selected connection up or down respectively in the
list so that you can sort them in any order.
♦
The
User Interface Pointing Device
dropdown menu offers several choices for optimizing NfRemote
depending upon the type of device you are using.
¸
Local Mouse or Touchpad
should be selected if you are running NfRemote on a local PC or laptop.
¸
Virtual Machine or Remote Desktop
is the correct choice if you are connecting to the computer
running NfRemote from another computer. This includes software like Parallels, VMware, Team
Viewer, GoToMyPC, Remote Desktop Connection, or a VNC client. Wacom Digitizer users should
also select this option.
¸
Local Mouse (Touch Simulation)
allows you to use the finger-friendly layout of the Touch Screen
option but with a mouse. It can also be used instead of the Virtual Machine or Remote Desktop
option.
¸
Touch Screen
provides a finger-friendly layout optimized for touch screen devices like tablets or
all-in-one PC’s with a touch interface.
¸
Touch Screen Presentation
operates just like Touch Screen but with a large cursor, making it ideal
for situations when you are using a projector for demonstration or instructing a group on how to use
NfRemote.
