Customizing...
Presenter
Executive can be
customized
with your own Splash Screen and text in the customer auto-setup modules and
the technician's setup
program. Only the auto-installer can be customized in the Executive
Edition, the Presenter program icons and internal program text remains the same as in the
Professional
edition. Select the
options you need, then send us your custom
splash screens. Delivery normally
takes 3 to 5 days.
We will need the following for your custom
splash screen:
- 2 to 256 colors .bmp file for the
customer module (server) splash screen. This can be any size but
it adds to the customer download so smaller and less colors is better.
We recommend no larger than 200x75x16 colors.
- 164x314 pixels x 256 color .bmp file for
the technicians setup/install program.
- 50x50 x 256 colors .bmp file for the
technician setup/install program.

Enter the
Address(s) & Port(s) to use...
Static IP address(es), DNS(s), DDNS(s) and port number(s) --- The technician address(es) and port(s) that will be opened/forwarded
to the technician stations the customer module(s) will connect to ( separate
the address from the port with a " + "). The default port is
5500 but we recommend using port 443 unless the station you
will be providing support from is running a web server (customer firewalls
almost always allow outbound traffic on this port). If you have a
web server running, port 6080 is the best alternate port. If you do
not need the web service running you can disable it or if your router
supports it, you
can redirect port 443 to another port number on the technician station (ie.
5500), this will allow you to run the local viewer on port 5500 to connect
to the customer's remote server on port 443. Other good ports to
use are 21, 23, 25, 110, 119, 143, 389, 433, 1503, 1720, 5631or 5900-5967 but outbound customer traffic on these ports may be
blocked by high-end corporate firewalls. If you are going to use the same
IP address or DNS name for multiple technicians, you will need multiple
ports or provide us with each workstation's network address. Ports can be almost
any number, but test your router, firewall or gateway to see if they can be opened
before ordering.
This one-time preparation is only for the
technician end and takes about 5 minutes.
- Click
HERE to download the DualDesk Port Tester, unzip and and run
the Port Tester Setup program.
- Forward Your Firewall, NAT Router or
Broadband Gateway TCP Port(s) to the internal (local) IP address(es) of the
technician station(s) you will be doing support from - Visit the website for the manufacturer of
your device or go to http://www.PortForward.com
and check out their impressive list of step-by-step
instructions for various manufacturers of firewalls, routers,
network address translators and broadband gateways as well as information
on common ports and tricks & tips. (Note: select TCP, DualDesk does
not need UDP)
- Run the Port
Tester Program to Test Your Firewall, NAT Router or
Broadband Gateway Ports, if it is already in use by
another server or service and you may need to select a different port for
the Presenter software.
We recommend using a DNS or Dynamic DNS name
(no-ip.com and dyndns.com
offer free services and work great!) instead of a static IP
address. DNS or DDNS addresses allow you to quickly and easily
change the address the customer module connects to any time you want to
operate from an alternate location or if your IP address changes.
NOTE: If you
enter an IP address that starts with "192.168."
or "10." or
"172.16. through 172.31." You will not
be able to support
any PC outside your own LAN. This is because these ranges of IP
addresses are non-routable private IP addresses that cannot be used to connect directly to the Internet.
Tip: Avoid the need to
re-program your customer modules by using a DNS name or dynamic
DNS service (DDNS) such as
no-ip.com or dyndns.org
instead of a static IP address.
