Wireless Mobile Base

Stereo Workstation Software is configured by default to operate in StandAlone Mode. With StandAlone Mode you only need one computer to use all the capabilities of the software. This is the mode you will initially use to get up to speed with the software.

Stereo Workstation Software also supports a Dual computer configuration. The Dual computer configuration consists of a Base computer, a Mobile computer, and a wireless (Wi-Fi) Network Router. The Base computer connects to the Mobile computer through the Network Router. You will need to set up two computers with a wireless router to use this configuration. You can also connect the two computers together using an Ethernet crossover cable if you can not get a wireless connection to work;

Ideally, the Base computer is a desktop computer located near your Equipment Rack and the Mobile computer is a Tablet PC type computer with wireless capability that is located at your listening position. A Tablet PC is a laptop computer that has on screen graphics drawing capability that uses a special electronic pen. The Stereo Workstation display screens are presented on the Mobile computer and the electronic pen is used to click buttons and draw Graphs directly on screen. Of course any normal laptop computer, that can be connected to a network, could be used as the Mobile computer.

Note that the Base computer and Mobile computer can actually be any type of PC based computer that can connect to the network. The Base computer can even be a laptop computer and the Mobile computer can even be a desktop computer (not very mobile however). Both computers can be desktop computers, or both computers can be laptop computers.

You will be able to play CDs/DVDs from the Mobile Computer CD/DVD drive or the Base Computer CD/DVD drive. When played from the Mobile Computer, the audio data is transmitted over the WiFi connection to the Base Computer and is played through your Stereo System at that location. The Mobile Computer can be as far away as your WiFi will allow. When played from the Base Computer you will use the Mobile Computer display screen to control the CD/DVD.
