Connection Manager
The term "frontend" in this section is used for PinUP Popper or PinballX.
The VPin Studio with the VPin Studio Server is a client-server architecture: You can connect to your cabinet where the the VPin Studio server is running by connecting to it from another computer.
By default, the VPin Studio will try to connect to the server running on localhost. If this attempt is not successful or the "Disconnect" button is pressed, the connection manager window is visible again.
You can create additional connections here by entering the matching IP of the cabinet the Studio should connect to. The connections are stored automatically, so that you can re-connect with one click the next time.
The maintenance mode can only be used when the VPin Studio is used from remote. If enabled, a full screen window will open indicating the maintenance mode. When entered, all VPX and PinUP processes will be terminated.
When the maintenance mode is ended, the frontend will be restarted automatically. You can disable this setting in the "Server Preferences" section.
You can exchange the maintenance screen by replacing the corresponding image in the resources folder of the server installation.
