QUICK STARTUP GUIDE
Note:
If your rear panel network ports are marked “Ethernet” and “Future” and your unit was shipped before April
2018, your system may need an MKII upgrade. Contact Telos Technical support or your dealer for details.)
NfRemote Software
NfRemote is a Windows-based client app that allows you to remotely connect to any Omnia.9 on your network. By default, you
should use the port marked “WAN” for NfRemote access.
As mentioned, it is significantly easier to use the NfRemote software to control the Omnia 9, since a keyboard, mouse and large
display will be more comfortable to work from (not to mention, portable). In fact, the front panel interface is the same remote
GUI client as NfRemote, but running on a small touchscreen.
NfRemote software is available for download from the Omnia website: https://www.telosalliance.com/Omnia in the
“software” section of the Omnia.9 page.
NfRemote may also be downloaded at any time directly from Omnia.9’s built-in http server once certain conditions are met:
♦
Omnia.9 must be connected to your network and must have an IP addressed assigned to it via the System > System
Configuration > IP Configuration menu; DHCP is enabled by default.
♦
A password must be entered in the System > System Configuration > Password menu. The factory default is 1234.
♦
The IP address/mask of the computer used to access the http server must be “white listed” in the System > System
Configuration > HTTP Access menu; the format is IP/mask (such as 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0); wildcard characters
are supported.
Once these conditions are met. you can access your Omnia.9 by entering “http://IP Address:7380” into the address window
of any standard web browser (for example,
http://192.168.0.183:7380 ). You will see a screen entitled “Welcome to Omnia.9
HTTP Server” with a current version number.
Under the “Downloadables” section, click on the “Download Remote Interface” link. This should be done each time you
update the software in your Omnia.9 to ensure full compatibility between the unit’s internal software and the remote control
applicaiton.
NfRemote will download to a “save to” destination folder depending upon your browser settings. To install, double-click the
executable (.exe) file. Enter the IP address and password of your Omnia.9 in the respective fields and choose the appropriate
connection type (such as mouse, VM, or touch) in the dropdown menu. Click on the “Connect” button. You may also save this
connection to the bottom portion of the window for easy one-button recall by clicking on the “Add” button, especially handy if
you are connecting to more than one Omnia device utilizing NfRemote.
