5-1 Using RGS in Normal Mode
Normal Mode is one of the two RGS operating modes—see Section 2-11,
Mode is the simplest means of establishing a connection—you enter the IP address or hostname of the Remote
Computer in the Local Computer Receiver Control Panel, and click Connect.
NOTE: The second RGS operating mode, Directory Mode, is described in Chapter 7.
Before attempting to connect to a particular Remote Computer for the first time, HP recommends that you verify
that the Remote and Local Computers satisfy the checklist in Chapter 4,
Chapter 4 can also be used as a troubleshooting aid if a connection attempt fails. After verifying the pre-
connection checklist, start the Receiver on the Local Computer. This can be done from the start menu or from the
command line (see Figure 5-1).
