In order to connect to your PC, you need to have the Remote Control Server running on the PC that you want to control. It will receive commands from your mobile device and send simulated input to your PC. Head over to our website and download the setup. Once your download finished, install the Remote Control Server. You may need administrator rights for running the setup.
When the setup finished, start the Remote Control Server. When you start it for the first time, the Windows Firewall will asks you if you want to allow network access for the server. It is very important, that you allow the access in private and public networks - otherwise the connection won’t work.
Before proceeding, make sure that your mobile device and your PC are connected to the same WiFi network.
Now start the Remote Control Collection app on your mobile device. It should detect the Remote Control Server in your network automatically and connect with your PC. In some networks however, this won’t work automatically. If that’s the case, you need to add your PC manually. Therefore, go to the devices section and enter the local IP address of your PC. The Remote Control Server will show you your PC’s IP address in the main window.
The app as well as the server will receive updates from time to time which will add new features. To update the server, start it with administrator rights, go to settings and select update. From here you can install the latest server version. Once the server has downloaded the new version, it will restart automatically.
