Initiating An Outbound Connection From Omnia - Omnia .9 Installation & User Manual

NFREMOTE CLIENT SOFTWARE
Off completely disables audio streaming and the client-side oscilloscope, RTA, and FFT displays.
♦
Force Lossy enables lossy streaming even on connections that are on the border of being too slow and forces lossy
♦
streaming even on fast connections.
Force Lossless enables lossless streaming even on connections that are too slow. This choice is best reserved for local
♦
networks with sufficient bandwidth to support it.
Clicking on the Connect button will initiate a connection to Omnia.9 whose IP address is currently displayed.
♦
The Clear button removes all information from the Comment, IP Address, and Password fields.
♦
The Add button collects the current Comment, IP Address, and Password information and carries it to the bottom of the
♦
window where it is saved for easy recall later.
The Update button refreshes the list of saved connections.
♦
Clicking on the Delete button will remove the selected connection from the list.
♦
The Move Up and Move Down buttons will move the selected connection up or down respectively in the list so that you
♦
can sort them in any order.
The User Interface Pointing Device dropdown menu offers several choices for optimizing NfRemote depending upon the
♦
type of device you are using.
Local Mouse or Touchpad should be selected if you are running NfRemote on a local PC or laptop.
♦
Virtual Machine or Remote Desktop is the correct choice if you are connecting to the computer running NfRemote
♦
from another computer. This includes software like Parallels, VMware, Team Viewer, GoToMyPC, Remote Desktop
Connection, or a VNC client. Wacom Digitizer users should also select this option.
Local Mouse (Touch Simulation) allows you to use the finger-friendly layout of the Touch Screen option but with a
♦
mouse. It can also be used instead of the Virtual Machine or Remote Desktop option.
Touch Screen provides a finger-friendly layout optimized for touch screen devices like tablets or all-in-one PC's with a
♦
touch interface.
Touch Screen Presentation operates just like Touch Screen but with a large cursor, making it ideal for situations when you
♦
are using a projector for demonstration or instructing a group on how to use NfRemote.

Initiating an Outbound Connection from Omnia.9

Normally, an instance of NfRemote running on a remote computer initiates the connection to an Omnia.9 ("inbound"
connection). However, there are some situations where it is more appropriate for Omnia.9 to initiate the connection to an
instance of NfRemote on a remote computer ("outbound" connection).
One example of how this can be used is for technical support. By creating an outbound connection, you are connecting to the
support engineer's NfRemote computer which in turn allows them to control your Omnia.9.
In such a situation, the support engineer would provide an IP address (or host name) and a port number separated by a
colon (123.45.67.89:7373 for example). Because IP addresses are commonly dynamically allocated, using a host name is the
preferred convention.
For more information about how to use Outbound Connection, please see the Outbound Connection page in the System
section of this manual.
