Setting MBOX Server Preferences Remotely

If you select a server or layer on the Remote main window and then press [

 P],

the MBOX Server Preferences window will open. This window allows you to
remotely set the preferences of the server: Art-Net Universe, Number of Layers,
Alignment Rectangles.

To edit a setting, click inside the box that surrounds the name of the setting. The
preference will become active so that it can be edited. Note that text values will
require pressing [enter] to accept them.

Note:

Some preferences require the MBOX Studio software to be relaunched

before they take effect. These preferences are noted by the presence of two
diamonds after the pref's name
