Visual Designer’s Remote Agent Utility
Visual Designer’s Remote Agent utility is set to
automatically start when the XP-503 starts. This utility is
the connection that the development software uses for
uploading, downloading, and online editing of the Visual
Designer project. If for some reason you are unable to
connect to the XP-503 from the development software,
make sure that the Remote Agent has not been closed by
the local user. There are only three buttons on the Remote
Agent. The Start button will start the Visual Designer
application or restart one that was closed. The Setup
button allows the user to switch from the default TCP/IP
connection to a Serial Port connection to the development
PC, and to configure password security for remote
connections to the Remote Agent. The last button, Exit,
will bring up a prompt box asking if you are sure you
want to exit the Remote Agent utility, with Yes and No
response buttons.
Normally the user would not change the default behavior
of the Remote Agent utility as it supports remote features
that simplify the development process. However, if you
wish to disable the automatic launch of the Remote Agent
to prevent remote management, you can delete the
Remote Agent shortcut from the Windows Start Menu,
Startup folder.
How to Remove the Remote Agent Auto Startup
To delete the Remote Agent shortcut from the Windows
Start menu, follow these steps.
1. On the XP-503, Open Windows Explorer,
Start > All
Programs > Windows Explorer
.
2. Browse to the folder “C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup” and delete the
Remote Agent shortcut icon (right-click > Delete).
3. Close the Windows Explorer window and perform a
Protect Mode Save operation.
Start > All Programs >
Protect Mode Manager
and then select the Protect
Mode Save tab and click the Commit button.
After the XP saves the changes to Windows, it will reboot
and no longer automatically start the Remote Agent.
