of 8300. However, only one 8300 from within a group can be connected
to 8300 PC Remote at any one time.
Operation Using the Keyboard
In general, PC Remote uses standard Windows conventions for navigation.
Navigate around the screens using the TAB key. Use CTRL-TAB to move to the next
tabbed screen in PC Remote.
Use the + and – keys or the left and right arrow keys on the numeric keypad to ad-
just control settings.
To Quit the Program
Use standard Windows conventions: Press ALT-F4 on the keyboard, or click the X on
the upper right corner with the mouse.
Also, please note the following behavior:

If you close the PC Remote connection from the PC, you will be given the choice
of staying connected through the ppp or disconnecting.

If you close the connection from PC Remote but choose not to close the ppp
connection, the
E

button will remain displayed on the 8300’s front
panel. If you then select that button, the ppp connection will close.
This behavior ensures that a user can tell from the 8300’s front panel if a
remote connection is active. A user can disconnect the PC connection at
the 8300 if he or she wishes. This minimizes the likelihood of someone’s
leaving a connection open while someone else tries to access that 8300.

using Optimod 8300 PC Remote, your 8300 is automati-
cally given an 8300 Alias name to differentiate it from other 8300s. You can change
the name anytime in the 8300 Properties window inside 8300 PC Remote.
When you add a new 8300 or change the name of an existing 8300 Alias, an Alias
folder is created in the same location as the executable for Optimod 8300 PC Re-
mote
(usually \Program Files\Orban\Optimod 8300). The folder has the same name as
the Alias name. Once you establish the initial connection to the 8300, all presets for
that 8300 are automatically copied to the Alias folder; thus, the folder contains all
the preset files for that 8300, both Factory and User. If you have backed up the 8300
