Connect to Recorder

To observe a remote session, the computer that runs our Mangold Remote Observer needs to communicate with your Mangold Recorder over the Network (LAN or WLAN).
If the connection is not established automatically, read the information in Firewall Settings to adapt the required settings.

Start the Mangold Remote Observer.

The application automatically searches for available Mangold Recorder systems in the network.

If only one Mangold Recorder is found, the connection is established instantly - if enough licenses for remote connection are available - unless there is a password* issue.

If NO Mangold Recorder can be detected, the upcoming application window looks like this:

If you are sure there is a Mangold Recorder already running, read LabSuite Network Communication to adapt the required settings so that the device can be found.

If you started your Mangold Recorder AFTER you started the Mangold Remote Observer:

Click Find Available Recorders and wait until the network scan is completed.

In case there are multiple Mangold Recorders available:

Select the one you want to connect to from the drop-down list.

If you specified a password* in the currently selected Mangold Recorder application:

Enter that password into the Password field.

Click Connect to connect to the selected Recorder.

If a connection was established successfully, the Remote Observer might look like shown in the picture at the left.

 

 

Note: Wenn connected to a VideoSyncPro recorder, you need to connect to a currently running session, using the drop-down Session Selector at the bottom of the window.

*) The password function is not available for all Mangold Recorder systems.

Info Tab

On the Info tab, the connection details are listed, and there is a field that might be required to set up the connection, as explained in Firewall Settings.
