=== Note to Mac users ===
We recommend dedicating an inexpensive Windows PC to leave connected to the carillon. You can use TeamViewer or other remote desktop software to remote in to the dedicated PC to manage your carillon from your home or office.
If you must run Management Suite on your Mac, you must also either dual boot Windows on the Mac or use virtualization software to boot Windows.

If you are upgrading from a previous version, the license should automatically transfer. If you have received a replacement or upgraded carillon, you will receive a new license number for the new system.

== Remote App and Windows Firewall ==
In order to use the remote app with Management Suite, you must open the port that is used in the Windows Firewall configuration. You will also have to open the port (or forward it) in any firewall appliances between the mobile app and the PC that hosts Management Suite.
Management Suite must also be run by an administrator in order to accept connections from the mobile app. You may also want it to [[Autostart Management Suite|auto-start]] when the management PC is started.
=== Windows XP ===
#Open Firewall settings by holding the Windows key while pressing R, then type firewall.cpl (enter).
#Click the Exceptions tab, click the Add Port button and enter "Chime Master Remote" and enter the port displayed in the Host Administrator's window (generally 6777), and make sure TCP is selected.
#Click OK to create the exception. Click OK to close Windows Firewall.
=== Windows Vista, 7 to 10 ===
#Open Firewall Advanced settings by holding the Windows key while pressing R, then type wf.msc (enter).
#Click "Inbound Rules" in the left column of the window. Select Rule type "Port" then click Next.
#Select TCP and enter the port displayed in the Host Administrator's window (generally 6777) for the specific local port and click Next.
#Select "Allow the connection" and click Next.
#Type "Chime Master Remote" for the name and click Finish.
=== Testing the firewall ===
Open a web browser on the PC that Management Suite is running on and type the IP address for the machine (shown in the Administrator panel) with the port as follows (your numbers may be different):
  <nowiki>http://192.168.0.(your IP):6777 (or your port number)</nowiki>
You should get a page with a title of '''CMSXMLServer'''
Next, try the exact same experiment on another PC attached to the same network. The result should be the same. If it is not, there is a Windows Firewall or antivirus configuration keeping the server from getting to the network. Try turning the firewall off and restarting the PC, then turning the firewall back on. Restart the Management Suite again.

At this point, the button sizes and positions (if customized) will revert to their default values. If any users are set up for remote control access via the mobile apps, their permissions will have to be reset in the Administrator panel (usernames and passwords are saved in the carillon, permissions on the PC).
