OPTIMOD-FM DIGITAL OPERATION

Each version of 8700i PC Remote will display all 8700i Aliases, even those pointing to
8700is with incompatible version numbers. If you attempt to connect to an older
version of 8700i from a newer version of 8700i PC Remote, 8700i PC Remote will of-
fer to upgrade the software in the target 8700i so that it corresponds to the version
of 8700i PC Remote that is active. If you attempt to connect to newer version of
8700i from an older version of 8700i 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 8700i 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 8700i PC Remote that is currently installed on your computer (alt-
hough 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 Optimod 8700i PC Remote software you wish to use (so that the
registry entries can be correctly updated). You can do this two different ways.

Rename the Alias (preferred): Start the Optimod 8700i 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
Optimod 8700i PC Remote executable.

Delete and Recreate the Alias: Start the Optimod 8700i PC Remote executable
you wish to use. Delete the old 8700i Aliases and create new ones to replace
them. New Alias folders will be created in the same location as the Optimod
8700i PC Remote executable.
Important: The deletion process will automatically erase its associated
folder, including the Backup directory. If you have anything in the Back-
up directory that you wish to keep, you should therefore move that di-
rectory elsewhere (or transfer the desired files to another, active backup
directory).
Ordinarily, the erasure process will move the Backup directory to your
computer’s Recycle Bin, so you can recover a Backup directory that you
have accidentally deleted in this way.
