Sharing Recorders Over a Network (ToastAnywhere)

The ToastAnywhereTM feature helps you share CD or DVD recorders across a network or the Internet with other Toast 6 Titanium users. An entire office or home network can use a single recorder.

•

Note:

If someone else on your computer network has shared their recorder, you can record any kind of data to that recorder. This will take longer than any recording with a recorder connected directly to your computer.

To share your recorder with other Toast 6 Titanium users over a network:

1	Choose Toast Titanium > Preferences.

The Preferences dialog appears.

2	In the Preferences dialog, click the Sharing tab.

3	In the Sharing tab, click the Start button.

4	Do one of the following:

•

If you want other Toast 6 Titanium users on the network or Internet to have unlimited access to your recorder, click OK.

•

If you want to establish a password that users must type in to access the recorder connected to your computer, click Set Password. A dialog box appears, where you will be asked to enter the password. Click OK when you are finished.

To unshare your recorder or change your password:

1	Choose Toast Titanium > Preferences.

The Preferences dialog appears.

2	In the Preferences dialog, click the Sharing tab.

3	In the Sharing tab, do one of the following:

•

To unshare your recorder, click Stop.

•

To change your password, click Set Password. You will be asked to enter a new password and verify it.

4	When you are finished, click OK.

Recording to a Shared Recorder

To record from Toast to a shared recorder:

1	Set up your disc as you normally would.

2	At the bottom of the Toast window, click the green Recorder Options button.

A pop-up list appears, displaying names of any recorders connected to your system and any shared recorders on the same local network.

3	Choose the name of a shared recorder.

To access a shared recorder at any location on the Internet, choose Other Shared Recorder. A dialog appears, where you can enter an IP address.

4	If the person who shared their recorder set a password, you must enter the password in the dialog box that appears.

The recorder displays as your current recorder.

5	Click the red Record button.

6	The person using the computer with the shared recorder connected to will be prompted to insert a blank disc.

Toast records your content to disc over the network.
