Using RGS in Normal Mode
Normal Mode is one of the two RGS operating modes—see RGS operating modes on page 25.
Normal Mode is the simplest means of establishing a connection—you enter the IP address or hostname
of the Remote Computer in the Local Computer Receiver Control Panel, and click Connect.
NOTE: The second RGS operating mode, Directory Mode, is described in Using Directory Mode
on page 161 .
NOTE: The RGS Sender listens on TCP/IP port 42966. The port used by the RGS Receiver is
assigned by the Local Computer OS and can vary.
Before attempting to connect to a particular Remote Computer for the first time, HP recommends that
you verify that the Remote and Local Computers satisfy the
Pre-connection checklist on page 84 . The
Pre-connection checklist on page 84 can also be used as a troubleshooting aid if a connection attempt
fails. After verifying the preconnection checklist, start the Receiver on the Local Computer. This can be
done from the start menu or from the command line (see
Figure 5-1 Starting the Receiver on Windows
on page 93).
