presets, system files, and automation files on your computer’s storage devices (hard
drives, floppy drives, etc.) and to restore them later to your 9300.
The 9300 PC Remote software can connect to your 9300 via modem, direct serial ca-
ble connection, or Ethernet network. It communicates with your 9300 via the TCP/IP
protocol, regardless of how it is connected to your 9300.
PC Remote works best on displays of 1024x768 pel or higher. Scroll bars
will appear when using lower resolutions.
Before running 9300 PC Remote, you must have installed the appropriate Windows
communications services on your computer. By default, the installer installs a short-
cut to 9300PC.exe on your desktop and in your Start Menu under Orban\Optimod
9300.
9300 PC Remote can control only one 9300 at a time, but it can readily switch be-
tween several 9300s. 9300 PC Remote has a built-in “address book” that allows it to
select and connect to:

any 9300 on the same network as the PC,

a 9300 that can be accessed through a modem connected to the PC via dial-up
networking, and,

a 9300 that is connected directly to the PC’s serial port.
Before your PC can communicate with a given 9300, you must first set up a “connec-
tion,” which is information that allows PC Remote to locate and communicate with
the 9300.
To set up a new connection:
A) Launch
9300PC.exe
.
B) Create a new 9300 connection by choosing

C) Enter an Alias name for your 9300 (like “KABC”).
D) Leave the password field blank to prompt the user to enter a password when
initiating a connection.
Refer to Security And Passcode Programming on page 2-37.
Otherwise, enter a password to allow PC Remote to connect to your 9300
without requiring a password when the connection is initiated.
To initiate a successful connection, a password must have already been
entered into your 9300 unit.
E) If you are communicating with your 9300 through a network, select the
Ethernet radio button and enter the appropriate IP address, subnet mask,
