INSTALLING

The HRD Remote Server files are:
• HRDRemoteSvr.exe – the executable,
• HRDRemoteSvr.cfg – configuration file, and
• HRDRemoteSvr README.txt – essential reading.
To install the service:
1. Open a DOS window
2. Use CD to change the current directory to the directory containing HRDRemoteSvr.exe .
This is the directory created when HRD is installed, for example:
C:\Program Files\Amateur Radio\Ham Radio Deluxe
3. Enter: HRDRemoteSvr.exe – install
This creates a new Windows service called HRD RemoteSvr. You now start the Services
applet (Start – Settings – Control Panel – Administrative Tools – Services) to modify the
properties of the service.
The default service Startup Type will be Manual: if you want to start the service when
the system restarts then change this to Automatic (just double-click on the entry to
bring up the Properties window).

To run the service from a DOS window enter: HRDRemoteSvr –debug
You see the service running with full debug information (required by the HRD development
team when in severe panic mode). This is most useful to verify that the service is running
properly.
A logfile is maintained by the service in the service's own directory.

Remember to allow incoming TCP/IP access to the port used by the remote server, this is
usually 7805.
If you don't do this then external computers will not be able to connect to the server.
