This page will guide you through the process of setting up your first connection. If you can't connect to your pc after following the steps listed below, have a look at our advanced troubleshooting section. Feel free to contact us if you get stuck.

First of all, you need to install a Remote Control App on your smartphone and the Remote Control Server on the pc you want to control.

Head over to the download section to get the latest app and server version.

After downloading the server installer, run the executable as administrator and install the server. If you are using Windows XP, you might need to install the Microsoft .Net Framework first.

To connect with your pc, the app needs to know your local IP address. Once you open the Remote Control Server for the first time, it will show a dialog box containing your IP address.

You can always find your IP address in the overview tab of the Remote Control Server. Look for "Server" and "IP address".

Now it's time to setup the Remote Control app. Open it and navigate to the main menu. Now tap on "Server", this is where you will add your pc.

There are few things that you need to keep in mind every time you want to connect to your pc:

• The Remote Control Server needs to be running in order to receive the commands from the app.
  
  
• Your smartphone and your pc need to be in the same network (e.g connected to the same Wi-Fi), otherwise the devices can't communicate with each other.

Now you need to tell the Remote Control app to which server it should connect. You have two possibilities:

• Use the network scan to automatically detect the server. This can take a moment and is not always successfull. If it doesn't find your server, try the second method.
  
  
• Tap on "Add a server manually" and a dialog will prompt you to enter the IP address from step 2 and a name for the server. The name is only for you but the IP address needs to be exactly as shown in the server (including dots).

Save the server and you are ready to connect! Go back to the main menu and tap on "Connect". The app will now try to reach on of the servers that you previously saved.

If your setup is correct, you will see a popup with all the remotes that you can use to control your pc. Select one and you can enjoy what the Remote Control app has to offer!

If the connection is not successfull, you will see an error message saying that the server is unreachable. Double check if the IP address you entered is correct and make sure that both devices are in the same network.
