CellPC Frequently
Asked Questions
Answers to common questions regarding CellPC can be found
here.
1. What versions of Windows does CellPC support?
CellPC can be used on all Windows
versions as long as you have an internet
connection.
2. How does CellPC work?
CellPC is very simple to use.
When you purchase CellPC you will be given
a CellPC account to configure the CellPC
software with. You then send emails from
your cellular/wireless device to your-username@gocellpc.com
with appropriate commands in the subject
line. CellPC will receive these commands
on your computer and perform the actions
and send a confirmation (if required).
3. Do I need my email client
open for CellPC to work?
No, CellPC uses its own internal
email system - it does not require any third
party email clients.
4. What is preventing someone
from guessing my username and controlling
my computer?
You can password protect CellPC's
command execution so that you have to login
to the computer first with a secure command
before being able to issue commands to it.
Commands executed without logging in first,
in this case, would be discarded and the
remote user's email would be logged so you
can see who was trying to gain access to
your computer.
5. How fast does CellPC
execute commands?
Depending on your internet
speed, wireless carrier speed, traffic delays,
and other external factors, CellPC's average
response time will be 5-15 seconds after
you send the command to your computer.
6. What devices are supported?
Any device that can send an
email with a subject line can use CellPC.
This includes cellular phones, handheld devices,
and other computers. If you want to verify
that your device works with the CellPC network
please contact us and
we will help you determine if your device
will work.
Not all wireless devices support
file attachments, rendering screenshot and
file retrieval commands useless. If you are
unsure of your devices capabilities please contact
us and we will help you determine if
your device will work.
7. I sent a command but
did not receive a confirmation!
This can happen for several
reasons. You may have configured CellPC to
not send a confirmation for commands that
do not require a response email (i.e.: shutdown,
restart, logoff, sendmessage, etc.). You
may have forgot to login first if you are
using the secure login option for CellPC.
You may have disabled that command in CellPC's
command editor. Lastly, you may have mistyped
the command.
