b. In the 'Programing' guide, click on 'Reprogramming';
c. In the 'Remote' guide fill in the field 'destination IP ' with the IP of the computer where the
CommCenter will be installed;
d. Click on 'OK' and place the wand in contact with the download interface for the programming to be
saved. With this operation, every time that the wand is placed on the Remote-i Net the address of the
PC which is running the CommCenter program will be read and automatically accessed through your
local network.
9. If my company uses several wands, do I need to program them one by one with the address of
the PC which runs the CommCenter? Isn't there an easier way to do this?
Yes, there is. You can use an alternative method which consists of programming the PC address in the
actual Remote-i Net itself. So, when you place the wand on the Remote-i Net, it will try to read the PC
address which is stored in the wand. If it finds it, it will use this address read from the wand. If not, it will
use the address which is programmed inside itelf. The steps to program the network address of the PC
which is running the CommCenter in the Remote-i Net itself are the following:
a. Open the program RiNet_Config and click on 'Update';
b. Deselect the option 'Use DHCP server' if it is selected;
c. In “Devices” click on a Remote-i and fill in the fields 'IP Address', 'Network mask' and 'Standard
Router' (this information can be obtained from the network administrator);
d. Click on 'Save' to record these configurations.
10.Our company provides security services for many clients spread around the city and even in
other cities, but we want the data for all these clients to be concentrated at our company head
office.
How can the Remote-i Net be configured to do this?
Remote-i Net does not distinguish between geographical locations in relation to the PC which is running
the CommCenter, that is, as far as the Remote-i Net is concerned, it doesn't matter whether the PC is on
an internal or external network, the procedure is exactly the same (see queries above).
11.Do I need to carry out any special configuration at the head office of my company where the PC
which runs the CommCenter is located?
This depends on how the network where the PC is connected is organized. There are two distinct
possibilities which reflect almost all of the field installations:
a. Connection dedicated to the internet for a single PC (very rare nowadays)
b. Company internal network connected to the Internet through a router or firewall (most installations).
