Remote access using the PulseWorx-App Windows Application
At this point you can begin with a mobile application but it is recommended to first use the Windows
PulseWorx-App application. This is an easy way to check your work and eliminates any potential issues
of wireless or router setup. And since you just completed running another Windows program –
UPStart – you are already at the computer.
You can use the Windows PulseWorx-App application to show the homeowner approximately what the
Smart Phone App will look like and how it is used. This application will run on any Windows based PC,
laptop or Windows tablet, such as a Microsoft Surface.
If you have not already done so, download and install the Windows PulseWorx-App from the
PulseWorx web site. You will find this download on the
Master Download
list under the category
Gateway
. Like all Windows programs it has an installer that guides you though the installation process.
Start PulseWorx-App and press the “Configure Connection” button in the ribbon. The dialog is very
similar to that in UPStart. Again, choose the interface type as “PulseWorx Gateway” then use the “Find
Gateway” button to locate the Gateway IP address and port. It is important to enter in the username
and password for the user you created during the UPStart session.
Press the “Test Connection” button to see if it a connection is made. Close the dialog with OK.
Press “Connect” in the ribbon and a connection is made and your design loaded.
