This behavior ensures that a user can tell from the 8500S's front panel if a
remote connection is active. A user can disconnect the PC connection at
the 8500S if he or she wishes. This minimizes the likelihood of someone's
leaving a connection open while someone else tries to access that 8500S.

matically given a 8500S Alias name to differentiate it from other 8500S. You can
change the name anytime in the 8500S Properties window inside 8500S PC Remote.
When you add a new 8500S or change the name of an existing 8500S Alias, an Alias
folder is created in the same location as the executable for Optimod 8500S PC Re-
mote (usually \Program Files\Orban\Optimod 8500S). The folder has the same name
as the Alias name. Once you establish the initial connection to the 8500S, all presets
for that 8500S are automatically copied to the Alias folder; thus, the folder contains
all the preset files for that 8500S, both Factory and User. If you have backed up the
8500S using 8500S PC Remote, there will also be a "backup" subfolder located
within the Alias folder.
Archived user preset files are text files and can be opened in a text editor
(like Notepad) if you want to examine their contents.
Alias folders and their associated backup subfolders are registered in your PC's Reg-
istry. This prevents folders from being accidentally deleted or moved. If you move or
delete Alias folders from the PC, the Alias folders recreate themselves in the previ-
ous location and restore their contents by copying it from their associated 8500S
when 8500S PC Remote connects to such a 8500S.
Multiple Installations of Optimod 8500S PC Remote
Rarely, you may want to have more than one installation of 8500S PC Remote on
your computer. There are a few extra things to know if you have multiple installa-
tions.
If you install a new version of the Optimod 8500S PC Remote software on your PC,
any Alias folders and backup subfolders created in an earlier software version still
remain in their original location on your PC (and in its registry).
The version of 8500S PC Remote must match the version of the software in the
8500S controlled by it. Therefore, you will only need multiple installations of PC Re-
mote (having separate version numbers) if:
•
you are controlling multiple 8500S, and
•
not all of your 8500S are running the same version of 8500S software, and
•
you do not want to upgrade at least one controlled 8500S to the latest version
of 8500S PC Remote software.
