6.6.3 Steps required to configure the Cottus Viewer
Using the Cottus Viewer, the content of a host workstation can be displayed in one viewer window (peer-to-peer
connection) or in multiple viewer windows (gateway based connection).
The peer-to-peer connection requires installing the Proxy Host 5.1 by Funk Software on every workstation with
a screen to be displayed on the Display Wall.
The gateway based connection also requires installing the Proxy Host 5.1 by Funk Software on every worksta-
tion with a screen to be displayed on the Display Wall. In addition, Proxy Gateway Server 5.1 of Funk Software
has to be installed on at least one workstation as well as the Proxy Gateway Administrator.
The gateway based connection also allows to record and play host sessions.
Sessions recorded with an earlier version than Apollo 1.9 have to be converted to be
played back with Apollo 1.9. Contact Barco to convert the sessions!
For every Apollo project, a dedicated license key has to be entered, both for the Proxy
Host and for the Gateway Server. The license key of the Gateway Server encodes and
respects the number of workstations.
The required installation file and the license key are located on the Apollo CD-ROM in the following directory:
Proxy Host 5.1 by Funk software. Apollo (CRS-3045)\Screen Host 5.1
Proxy Gateway Server 5.1 by Funk software Apollo (CRS-3045)\Gateway 5.1
Both Proxy Host and Proxy Gateway provide an online help which informs about the various options and selec-
tions. To make use of this context sensitive help, press the F1 key while having selected the respective control.
The manuals of these applications are also included in the above mentioned folders. It is recommended to care-
fully read them in order to learn about operation of the software. The functionalities and settings of Funk soft-
ware are beyond the scope of the Apollo user's manual!
If you want to install Proxy Host and Proxy Gateway Server on one workstation, the Proxy
Gateway Server has to be installed first.
6.6.3.1 Installation of the Proxy Gateway Server and/or Proxy Gateway Administrator
The Funk Proxy Gateway has enhanced security features and uses network authentication.
The operating system security policy "Network access: Sharing and security model for local
accounts" must be set to "Classic" mode, not "Guest only" mode (WinXP). This policy can
be configured in Administrative Tools|Local Security Policy|Security Options.
If this is not set correctly, the installation aborts.
The installation procedure suggest the service to be personalized for the account
domain\RemoteControlServer.
Before starting the installation procedure, make sure that this "member" is added to the
domain (contact your local IT administrator), or define/select another one.
The Proxy Gateway Server acts as a central communication hub. It also stores and retrieves recordings of previ-
ous host sessions.
