Enabling and Disabling Remote Access
When remote access is enabled, a user can connect to 3DM over the internet
or an intranet, to check status or administer the controller and associated
drives. (See “Viewing 3DM Remotely Using a Web Browser” on page 71.)
If remote access is disabled and a user attempts to connect to 3DM remotely,
they will see the following error message: “Remote Access to 3DM has been
disabled. Please connect using the local machine by entering “localhost” in
the URL bar.”
Remote access can be enabled or disabled on the 3DM 2 Settings page.
