Remote Control of Receptor
With Receptor mounted on your desktop computer, you’ll see a directory called “Remote Control.” Inside that
directory are various applications that can be used to remotely control Receptor’s graphical user interface from
a desktop computer. Although you may run these applications directly from Receptor, you may find it most
convenient to copy them to your computer’s hard drive.
Installing Receptor Remote to your Desktop Computer
To install the Receptor Remote Control application to your hard drive, either:
1 Mount Receptor on your computer’s Hard Drive, navigate to the Remote Control folder on Receptor and
drag the appropriate installer to your computer’s hard drive. Double click the installer and follow the step-
by-step instructions.
or...
2 Insert the Receptor CD, navigate to the Remote Control folder on the CD and drag the appropriate
installer to your computer’s hard drive. Double click the installer and follow the step-by-step instructions.
Launching Receptor Remote Control
To launch Receptor Remote Control:
1 Double click the application named “Receptor Remote Control.”
A window opens in which you select which Receptor you wish to control remotely. The appearance and function of this
window changes slightly depending on which operating system you use.
--- Receptor Remote on Macintosh OS X ---
2 Select the name of the Receptor you wish to control, then click OK.
Receptor’s graphical user interface appears on your desktop computer.
Using Receptor Remote Control
When you use Receptor Remote Control, Receptor’s graphical user interface is displayed on your computer
exactly as if you plugged a monitor and mouse directly into Receptor. All Receptor operations described in
“Graphic Editor” on page 85, are now available from within your desktop computing environment.
NOTE: For best results, you should use a 100Base-T or faster network. Remote operations over a 10Base-T
network or a slower 802.11b wireless network may feel a bit “clunky.”
