Using the 8685 PC Remote Control Software
8685 PC Remote control software allows you to access any front-panel 8685 control
remotely. The software also gives you the ability to backup user presets, system files,
and automation files to your computer’s storage devices (hard drives, etc.) and to re-
store them later to your 8685.
The 8685 PC Remote software can connect to your 8685 via modem, direct serial ca-
ble connection, or Ethernet network. It communicates with your 8685 via the TCP/IP
protocol, regardless of how it is connected to your 8685.
PC Remote works best on large, high-resolution displays. Scroll bars will
appear when using lower resolutions.
Before running 8685 PC Remote, you must have installed the appropriate Windows
communications services on your computer. By default, the installer installs a short-
cut to 8685PC.exe on your desktop and in your Start Menu under Orban\Optimod
8685.
8685 PC Remote can control only one 8685 at a time, but it can readily switch be-
tween several 8685s. 8685 PC Remote has a built-in “address book” that allows it to
select and connect to:
•
any 8685 on the same network as the PC,
•
any 8685 that can be accessed through a modem connected to the PC via dial-up
networking, and,
•
any 8685 that is connected directly to one of the PC’s serial ports.
Before your PC can communicate with a given 8685, you must first set up a “connec-
tion,” which is information that allows PC Remote to locate and communicate with
the 8685.
To set up a new connection:
A) Launch 8685PC.exe.
B) Create a new 8685 connection by choosing

from the

menu or by right clicking on the A

icon in the Connections List
and selecting

8685.
The Connection Properties dialog box opens.
C) Enter an Alias name for your 8685 (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 2-40.
Otherwise, enter a password to allow PC Remote to connect to your 8685
without requiring a password when the connection is initiated.
