Preparing to Control Modules with a Dedicated Application
Preparing to Control Modules with a
Dedicated Application
Some modules come with a dedicated application designed to control
them remotely from a computer. The main characteristic of this application
is that it lets another user control the module exactly as if he had it close at
hand.
To control the module remotely, you must configure it on the unit
containing the module, including a description that can help you identify it.
The user controlling the module from a computer must install the
dedicated application (for more information on the installation, refer to the
application documentation).

The module can be controlled both remotely and locally at the same
time.

You will have to configure your remote control again in the following
cases:

you inserted the module in another slot

you applied changes on applications while the module is not
inserted in its slot.
Note: Some modules do not support the remote control.
IMPORTANT
If there is a network failure or a problem with your
remotely-controlled module, you can shut down the latter without
closing all the other applications. The local and remote module
session will then be closed.
