OPERATION ORBAN MODEL 5518
from an older version of 5518 PC Remote, it will refuse to connect and will emit an
error message regarding incompatible versions.
If you decide to install the new software to a different location on your PC, new Ali-
ases created using the new software will not be located in the same place as the old
Aliases.
To Move Alias Folders:
Even though each version of 5518 PC Remote can see all aliases, you may wish to
move the corresponding folders so they are under the folder corresponding to the
highest version of 5518 PC Remote that is currently installed on your computer (al-
though this is not required). If your Alias folders reside in different locations, you
can move all the Alias folders to the same location by using the PC Remote software.
Do not use an external file manager to do this. The old Alias folders need to be re-
created under the 5518 PC Remote software you wish to use (so that the registry en-
tries can be correctly updated). You can do this two different ways.

Rename the Alias (preferred): Start the 5518 PC Remote executable you wish
to use and rename your old Aliases with a slightly different name. A new Alias
folder with the new name will be created in the same location as the 5518 PC
Remote executable.

Delete and Recreate the Alias: Start the 5518 PC Remote executable you wish
to use. Delete the old 5518 Aliases and create new ones to replace them. New
Alias folders will be created in the same location as the 5518 PC Remote execu-
table.
Important: The deletion process will automatically erase its associated
folder, including the Backup directory. If you have anything in the
Backup directory that you wish to keep, you should therefore move that
directory elsewhere (or transfer the desired files to another, active
backup directory). Use a Windows file manager like Windows Explorer to
do this.
The erasure process will usually move the Backup directory to your com-
puter’s Recycle Bin, so you can recover a Backup directory that you have
accidentally deleted in this way.
