Under Remote Control, enter a secure password that will be used to connect to the Cloud-based Controller remotely and check the Enable Authentication checkbox. Take note of the port used (defaulted to 4444) as this will be needed in the login process. Click Apply then OK to save authentication changes.

Next, navigate to the QuickLink Cloud-based Controller. In Server, enter your local IP or domain name for StudioPro, followed by the port (e.g 192.158.1.38:4444). Enter your password which has been configured in authentication, then click Connect.

If you are not connecting locally and/or are having trouble connecting please see below for possible reasons/solutions;

 

- When running locally you should use https://switcher.quicklink.network/   

- When connecting remotely you should use http://switcher.quicklink.network/

- Make sure the selected port is definitely open on your network

- Windows Firewall can block the remote connection so you may need to add a rule to allow the connection

 

To add a Windows Firewall rule follow these steps...

 

Create a new inbound rule by selecting Inbound Rules in the top left and click New Rule over near the top right.
