2. In the Target line replace YourServerIPAddress with the Local Area Network (LAN) Address for your server (e.g. 192.168.100.88). If you do not have or know this information, please speak with your technical services representative or call Xyntax Support.

3. Double-check that you have the correct PORT, IPADDRESS, and APP variable.

 
 
Tip! --
Local Connections use PORT="10000" APP=""Xyntax8""
(e.g. "C:\PVX Plus Technologies\Windx Plugin 2019 Upd 2\pxplus.exe" -mn "*client" -ARG "192.168.50.10" 10000 "Xyntax8"

Remote Connections use PORT="11000" APP=""Xyntax8Remote""
(e.g. "C:\PVX Plus Technologies\Windx Plugin 2019 Upd 2\pxplus.exe" -mn "*client" -ARG "*client" -ARG "95.24.100.3" 11000 "Xyntax8Remote"

4. Click Apply.

5. Right-click and rename the shortcut to "Xyntax".

6. Double-click the Xyntax icon located on your desktop.

The first time you log in, it’ll pop-up a WindX security message, make sure to click Disable.
