	<a name="11"></a>1.1 Introduction to Remote 

Remote is a software
application available for iOS that can be used with your iPhone, iPad or iPod
Touch. Once installed on your mobile device, you can use Remote to control and
play your music with ASUSTOR iTunes Server. Remote can be downloaded from Apple’s
App Store. For more information about Remote and its features please see:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/remote 
 
Note: Remote operates using your
mobile device’s Wi-Fi function. Therefore, you must have your mobile device,
ASUSTOR NAS and a wireless router all on the same network in order to be able
to use Remote with iTunes Server.

<a name="21"></a>2.1 Playing music using Remote 
In the following example we will show you how to use Remote to
control iTunes Server to play and stream music from an ASUSTOR NAS. 
 
STEP 1 
ü Open Remote on your mobile device and then select [Add a Device]. 

	ü Make sure to remember the name for your device and the passcode as
shown in the graphic below.

STEP 2 
Open iTunes Server on your NAS and double-click on the name of your
mobile device from the iOS Remote list. The Pair with iOS Remote window will
now appear. Enter your passcode and then click [OK].

STEP 3 
ü The pairing process should only take a couple of seconds.
Afterwards, Remote should immediately display the name of your iTunes Server
library. 
ü You will now be able to use Remote to browse through your iTunes
Server library and select content that you want to play. 

	ü You can choose to play your music directly from your NAS (using an
HDMI compatible device or USB speakers) or through any AirPlay compatible
devices on the network.

Note: 
1. If you find that Remote doesn't
display the name of your iTunes Server library, then the pairing process has
failed. Failure might be due to invalid characters in the device name. Please
use some simpler words for your iTunes Server library name and try again. 
2. If you still cannot successfully
pair your device, please re-enable the iTunes Server App on the NAS. The following
instructions will explain how to do this. 
a. Open App Central 
b. Click on the iTunes Server
icon. 

	c. The About This App window will appear. Click on the [Disable] button and then click again
on the [Enable] button to re-enable
iTunes Server.
