PC2ME Guide

Introduction

Welcome to the PC2Me Guide for Help and Reference information.

PC2Me provides remote control of your desktop* from your iPhone or iPod touch. All you need is a desktop, an iPhone or iPod touch, a choice of connection methods, and the PC2Me Server from 1stWorks.

* Note: if you have multiple monitors, the basic PC2Me provides remote control of whatever part of your desktop can be reached through your primary monitor, not your whole desktop. If you want to access additional monitors, you can purchase a Multi-Monitor license.

Overview

You install the PC2Me Server software on your computer, register it (which gives it a unique Personal Server Identity) and leave it running. Then, you connect to your PC2Me Server from your iPhone or iPod touch, and view or control your desktop remotely.

The connection method choices are:

Connection	Description
PC2Me Plus Native App	PC2Me Plus native apps are available through the Apple App Store. Each offers the advantage of a native app interface, plus special features such as audio.
iPhone Safari Browser	You can connect to your PC2Me Server through Safari on the iPhone or iPod touch, with the PC Safari Browser option.
PC Safari Browser	You can connect to your PC2Me Server through Safari from another computer, with the PC Safari Browser option.

When you install a PC2Me Plus Native App, you give it the identity that you created for your PC2Me Server.

The identity also becomes part of a unique web addess that you use when connecting through Safari. The address is http://your-identity.PC2Me.net.
