Setting Up the Connection to the Server

Top  Previous  Next

You may be pleased to know that once you have installed PhonePad 5 on your workstation there is nothing else you need to do.  You don't need to configure PhonePad to connect to the Server or Host PC.

 

When PhonePad starts up it will try to auto-discover any PhonePad 5 Servers on your network.  Your workstations will automatically establish a connection with the server once it finds it.

 

 Connection

 

If PhonePad is unable to connect to the PhonePad 5 Server then it will be due to one of the following reasons:

 

The PhonePad 5 Server service has not been installed or is not running.

A firewall, and/or security software, on the Server or Host PC, or on the workstation is blocking the connection.  You may need to configure it to allow the connection.
