8382 using Optimod 8382 PC Remote, your 8382 automatically
receives an 8382 Alias name to differentiate it from other 8382s. You can change the
name anytime in the 8382 Properties window inside 8382 PC Remote.
When you add a new 8382 or change the name of an existing 8382 Alias, an Alias
folder is created in the same location as the executable for Optimod 8382 PC Re-
mote
(usually \Program Files\Orban\Optimod 8382). The folder has the same name as
the Alias name. Once you establish the initial connection to the 8382, all presets for
that 8382 are automatically copied to the Alias folder; thus, the folder contains all
the preset files for that 8382, both Factory and User. If you have backed up the 8382
using 8382 PC Remote, these will appear in a “backup” subfolder located within the
Alias folder.
Archived user preset files are text files and can be opened in a text editor
(like Notepad) if you want to examine their contents.
Alias folders and their associated backup subfolders are registered in your PC’s Reg-
istry. This prevents folders from being accidentally deleted or moved. If you move or
delete Alias folders from the PC, the Alias folders recreate themselves in the previ-
ous location and restore their contents by copying it from their associated 8382s
when 8382 PC Remote connects to such an 8382.
Multiple Installations of Optimod 8382 PC Remote
Rarely, you may want to have more than one installation of 8382 PC Remote on your
computer. There are a few extra things to know if you have multiple installations.
If you install a new version of the Optimod 8382 PC Remote software on your PC,
any Alias folders and backup subfolders created in an earlier software version still
remain in their original location on your PC (and in its registry).
The version of 8382 PC Remote must match the version of the software in the 8382
controlled by it. Therefore, you will only need multiple installations of PC Remote
(having separate version numbers) if:

you are controlling multiple 8382s, and

not all of your 8382s are running the same version of 8382 software, and
