How to set up ports to be redirected from a remotely controlled computer to a local computer. This may be useful when the remote computer (host) runs the Procare Check In software and the USB biometric fingerprint reader is attached to the local (client) computer.
Overview
You can use Windows Remote Desktop to connect to another computer that is running the Procare Check In program while having the fingerprint reader attached to the local computer. This means you are taking over the remote (host) computer such that no one else may use it while you are connected. The Fingerprint Drivers must be installed.
Note: Remote Desktop is beyond the scope of Procare Support. This article is meant as a helpful reference only. Contact your local computer technician for assistance.
Allow Ports
Start the Remote Desktop Session, with the computer name of the remote computer running the Procare Check In program. Click the Down Arrow next to Options (lower left) to access the options screen.
Select the Local Resources tab, then click the More button.
Check the box marked Ports then click OK.
Connect to the remote (host) computer as usual.
