Password and Remote Port Settings

Chatboard and MyPhone do not require a password.

For the other functions such as Screen, Time, Clipboard and Minirem itself
a password is recommended.

This is the Password that is set in MiniRem.exe on the remote PC.
The default Minirem password at installation time is an empty string "".
The password can be remotely modified using Minicom/ Setup Minirem.
( as long as you have the right password :-) )

The Remote Port setting is default 2600.
During installation, if another program is using this port Minirem will automatically increment the port until it finds a free one. It will then advise you of the new port.

 

DialUp Link

Select this to show the modem dial up dialogue at connection time.

TCP-IP or IPX/SPX

Select which protocol to use for the connection to this PC.

Checkout Control Panel/ Network to see which protocols are installed.

For IPX/ SPX connections set the Network and Node Number.
These are in hexadecimal format eg.
Network Number "0000000C" and Node Number "00C0DF4567DD".

Check the Network Number in Control Panel/ Network/ NWLink protocol details.
Use winipcfg.exe to get the Node Number.

For TCP-IP connections Minicom can connect just using the name of the remote PC.

Settings specific to Screen command mode.

In this mode you can disable or enable the remote host PCs screen, keyboard and mouse, remote cursor echo, and access by other users of Minicom.

For NT4 systems disabling the remote host PCs screen, keyboard and mouse is not available.

Also for other operating systems, various screen savers and configurations such as UBS devices can interfere with the disabling of screen, keyboard and mouse.
