Instructions:

- Right click on ‘my computer’ (either from desktop or from start menu)
- Select ‘properties’, click box under ‘Remote Desktop’
- If your computer is behind a router, go in its settings under ‘applications & gaming’ or something similar to that effect to allow certain applications specialized access in the ‘port range forward’ setting, below is how mine is set:

Application Start End Protocol IP Address Enable

remote 3389 3389 Both 192.168.x.x x

- For IP address, be sure you indicate the LOCAL IP address of your host computer
- Click on ’save settings’ button
- While you’re still in your router’s configuration window, go under ‘Status’ and determine the ‘IP address’ (computer’s location address, not 192.168.x.x), write it down
- On your phone, load up the WM6 RD application, under ‘Computer’ type in the ‘IP address’ of your computer’s location address – again, not the 192.168.x.x
- Type in your ‘user name’, and ‘password’ of the ACCOUNT you log in your computer, or you use
- Then hit ‘connect’…that’s it.

I hope that this helps you!
