FCS Maintenance Pack Network Admin 1.0.8 released - support for manual IPs

Last week we released FCS Maintenance Pack Network Admin 1.0.8, a maintenance update for our tool to remotely troubleshoot Final Cut Studio over a network.

The biggest change in this version is support for entering a manual IP address and port. This is essential for negotiating some corporate networks.

Just follow these steps to set it up:

1. Open up the FCS Maintenance Pack Network Client preference pane.

2. Select a specific network interface to listen on and tick the option to specify a custom port and to disable Bonjour broadcasts.

3. Once the client restarts, the current IP and port will be listed on the left-hand side.

4. Launch Network Admin, click the + button in the bottom left and select Add Manual IP.

5. Enter the IP address, port and a descriptive name and click Connect.

6. The service will appear in the left-hand Services pane.

Unlike Bonjour services, manual ones will always appear in the list even if the destination computer is offline.

A 15-day trial of Network Admin is available here.
