Control your LED Screen Remotely with LED Studio by Internet

Sometimes it is needed to control your LED screen remotely from a long distance to save time and traveling expenses. The LED screen can be controlled remotely by connecting the LED screen's controlling computer to the internet through a fixed IP or dynamic IP (use DynDNS for dynamic IP's). You can use desktop sharing applications to control the LED Studio software or any other LED screen controlling software, or you can use the build-in network control module of the LED Studio software.

In this article we will explain how to use the LED Studio build-in network control module to control remotely your LED screen over a long distance from any part of the world.

Remote Manager (Online)

If you want to operate your LED screen by network control, you must setup the computer which controls the LED screen to the remote control server, the other computers set as costumer computers. The remote control server can be controlled by all the customer computers within the network. The customer computer may control all remote control servers within the network. If you want to carry out the remote control on the Internet, the remote control server must dial up, can’t be by LAN, otherwise it can’t be connected.

Remote Control Server Setup

Select “Option” → “Software setup” → “Networking”, and then enter to the “Software setup” dialog box, as shown on the image below. Select “Local Led screen” and “Remote manager (online)”, and type in a non-used Port number (normally the default number 6600 will be fine). The customer computer must type in the same port number in order to link to the remote control server, and click “Save setup” to exist dialog box.

When sending a program over long-distance (No LAN), adapting the Remote Manager (online) dial up is inconvenient, because the IP address is not fixed, and you must check the IP address when connecting. However, the Remote Manager (offline) can deal with the inconvenience.
