Question

How should I check the IP address of my PC?

Answer

[Windows/MAC]
　The following information can be checked ono the main page of the Twomon PC program.
　　- PC name
　　- IP address
　　- Time of Twomon connection
　　- Amount of data sent from the PC to the mobile device

　* If two or more networks are connected to the PC, only the first IP address is displayed on the main page.

Question

　How can an app in a mobile device be connected to a PC in another network?

Answer

Connect through the ad hoc network.

　The network can be used in an environment where there is no router. The mobile network adapter must be installed
　since the ad hoc network is a mobile network.
　　※ This method is supported only by TwomonAir for iOS.

1. Ad hoc Network Setting

　Set the ad hoc network.
　Ad hoc network setting between Windows computers (for Windows 7)

2. Network IP setting in the PC mobile network adapter

　Set the IP address in the mobile network adapter of the PC manually.

3. Ad hoc network IP setting in the device

　Select the network set in the PC in Setting >Wi-Fi in the device and manually set the IP address and the subnet mask.
　The PCs that are connectable from the app are listed on the screen.

　the web to connect TwomonAir.

Setting up SuperDMZ (SDMZ) of router and connection

　This is a method of directly allocating a public IP to the PC connected to the router for connection.
　After setting up SuperDMZ, add the public PC in ‘Favorite PC input’ on the main page of the app to connect it to TwomonAir.
　Web page to check the public IP: http://whatismyipaddress.com/
　※ The SuperDMZ function may have a different name depending on the router’s manufacturer.

Connection with a Good account

　You can connect a PC and the app Connection with a Google account from anywhere anytime. Input the Google account in
　‘Google Account’ of the PC program and the app to simply use TwomonAir.
　Unlike the same network connection, the performance is affected by the condition of the Google server or status
　of the connected network since the data are exchanged through the Google server. When a mobile network is used,
　the transfer speed or stability may be lower than the same network connection.
　When using a mobile network, set TwomonAir > Setting > 'Allow mobile network' to ON first.

　※ TwomonAir for Android can connect the PC and the device in different networks using the VPN and SuperDMZ.

Question

Can I see the smartphone or tablet screen on a PC monitor?

Answer

Twomon was developed to make it possible to connect a tablet or smartphone and use it as the secondary monitor of a PC.
As such, it does not support control of a tablet or smartphone screen from a PC.

Problem

I cannot use the Android app (Google license authentication failure).
　"Google Plan license authentication failed. You must log in with the account you used to purchase the app in order to run the app."
　The above statement will be displayed if the Google license authentication fails when you run the Twomon app.

Cause

Since Twomon for Android applies the security library to the APK installation file, the Twomon APK security library authentication is performed when the app is first run after downloading the app.

Troubleshooting

The WiFi or mobile network must be connected, and the user must be logged in with the account used to purchase the app in order to run the app.

Setting the account used for purchasing the Twomon app to be the main app
　1. Log out of all accounts currently logged in with the device.
　2. Log in with the Twomon account that was used to purchase the app in order to run the app.
　3. Confirm that the Google license has been successfully authenticated.

If the problem persists, contact the Google Store Support Center.

Question

How can the screen output speed be optimized?

Answer

A TwomonAir uses the wireless network, the screen output speed differs according to the wireless environment.
The screen output speed can be optimized in the following way:
　

Optimize the screen output speed in TwomonAir

　1. Change the TwomonAir connection environment.
　　Unlike TwomonUSB, TwomonAir connects a PC and a mobile device through the wireless network. As such,
　　the performance may differ according to the network conditions.
　　The performance of TwomonAir will be better in an environment where a device is networked to a single PC rather than multiple devices.

　　　1) Use the environment where the device and the PC are in the same network.
　　　2) Use the Adhoc network or WiFi if the device is located a short distance from the PC.

　　2. Use the recommended resolution or change the screen mode to the high-performance mode.
　　　Assuming that the network conditions are the same, the PC specification and screen resolution are two factors
　　　that can affect the screen output performance.
　　　The following resolutions are recommended for Twomon products:

　　　　1) iPad: 1024*768
　　　　2) iPhone: 960*540
　　　　3) Android phone: 1280*800 (Android phones may have different resolutions depending on the aspect ratio.)
　　　The speed may be improved if the recommended resolution is used or if the screen mode of TwomonAir
　　　is changed to the ‘high-performance mode’.

　　3. Turn off the sound.
　　　If the sound function is not being used, it can be turned OFF to improve the speed.
　　　　Select Menu > Sound function OFF so as not to use the sound capture function.
