Sending Remote Commands to Servers
In addition to synchronizing and monitoring other Catalyst Media Servers on an Ethernet
network, you can send remote commands to networked servers.
1. To set up a server to accept remote commands from another server, locate the CIB
Connection panel at the top of the Catalyst Control window on the PowerMac.
2. Click on the Remote field in the bottom right corner of the CIB Connection panel to
open a pop-up menu.
3. In the pop-up menu, select “Accept Remote Commands”. A check mark will be placed
next to the option and the menu will close.
4. Repeat this process for all servers on the network that you wish to accept remote
commands.
5. From any Media Server on the network, open the pop-up menu in the Remote field of
the CIB Connection panel.
6. Click on any of the following commands to send it to all enabled machines on the
network:
Send Goto Fullscreens for All Connected. All Media Servers on the network that
are set to Accept Remote Commands enter full screen mode on all outputs.
Send Shutdown to All Connected. All Media Servers on the network that are set to
Accept Remote Commands shut down.
Send Restart to All Connected. All Media Servers on the network that are set to
Accept Remote Commands reboot. Once the servers have rebooted, you must
manually restart the Catalyst application on each server.
Send Sleep to All Connected. All Media Servers on the network that are set to
Accept Remote Commands enter sleep mode. You can wake sleeping Media
Servers by sending them a Broadcast to Remote Preview On or Goto FullScreen
command.
