•	IP/ISDN Password Request - enables or disables the IP/ISDN Password functionality. For more info about IP/ISDN password, consult Set IP/ISDN Password. By default, this item is NOT enabled.

•

UDP Scan at Start
By default, the Remote Control program ‘UDP-identify’ scans the LAN for

codecs - provided IP control is selected. This dialog allows the function to be switched off.
If this ‘scan’ is disabled, the list box on the main program window shows the IP address used in the last session, which may no longer be valid.

•	Stop Connect UDP If this item is checked and the DISCONNECT-Button is pressed then at UDP/IP- connections additionally the decoder is stopped. By default this item is not checked.

•

Level meter interval (ms)
This activates or de-activates a level meter display on the main program window - provided IP control is used. It is NOT available when RS-232 communication between PC and

is used.
If the interval is set to 0, then the level meter display is Disabled. Otherwise,

sends its level info to the remote (by UDP) at a rate defined by this interval value. Please remember that a short interval will generate a high level of traffic on the network, but a large interval will mean less reliable level info. A good compromise is 200 ms.
By default, the level meter interval is set to 0 (i.e. the level meter is de-activated).

•

- Command line parameters (see Command Line parameters)
- ‘most recent’ Remote Control parameters (e.g. Com 2 at 57,600)
- Default parameters (i.e. Com1 with 38,400)
- Com Port scan; Com port scan starts. The scan sequence always starts with Com1.
For instance:
Number of Com ports to scan = 4, means that Com1, Com 2, Com 3 & Com 4 are all scanned.
The default setting is 1 (i.e. Com 1 will be scanned).

•	SMTP Host - allows entry of the SMTP host of the e-mail system. It is needed if the log file, produced automatically by Time Control, is to be sent out by e-mail. By default, the entry is empty.

By default, the entry is empty.
