N-Button supports Network connection. It allows you to send data or commands to IP Address just by clicking buttons on your desktop.
For N-Button or N-Button Lite, only one instance can be run on the computer. You may think it only can send data or commands to one IP Address. However, it’s also possible to create customized buttons to send commands to multiple IP Address separately. It needs help of our another powerful communication software Comm Operator.
Before you send commands with N-Button, you need make a COP file with Comm Operator. That includes the information of IP Address and commands.
a. Select menu File –> Open Connection to show Open Connection dialog, and set IP Address on TCP Client tab page, shown as below.
b. Edit Send Data List panel to add commands, shown as below.
c. Select menu File-> Save As COP File to save the above setting to a *.cop file. (This file can be opened by our free software Comm Operator Pal.)
d. Repeat step a to c to create different COP file for different IP Address
Now, you can use N-Button to create customized buttons to run the application RunCopFile.exe. The *.cop files saved above will be used as parameter.
a. Click Add Customized Button on N-Button Manager to show properties page for customized button.
b. Select Run Application option in Action panel. Input the path of RunCopFile.exe and the *.cop file.

In standard font mode, all sub-panels of PTZ Controller can be showed correctly. However, we got reports about not correct displaying in big font mode, such as, the title texts are too large to fit for the title bar; the help button and close button can not be shown.
The new version of PTZ Controller has modified the display issue for sub-panels in big font mode. All sub-panels can be displayed normally in Big Font mode on Windows XP system.
On Windows 7 operating system, you need to unselect the option to make all sub-panels displayed normally in Big Font mode. When you set the display font more than 100%, be sure not to select ‘Use Windows XP style DPI scaling’ on the dialog of Custom DPI Setting, shown as below.
