MobileToolz™ Quick Start Help Guide:

MobileToolz™ includes a large amount of functionality, some contained within the App, some accessible when used in conjunction with a desktop computer.

The fastest way to access some of the more advanced functionalities of MobileToolz™ is to connect to MobileToolz™ from any desktop computer's browser, as follows:

  • With your iPhone/iPod, log onto a Wi-Fi network (this can even be an AdHoc network generated by your computer or laptop);
  • Log onto the same Wi-Fi network with your computer (PC or Mac, or other);
  • Launch MobileToolz on your iPhone/iPod and note the web address that appears on the Document module. It should be of the format "http://x.y.z.a:8080" (actual numbers will vary depending on your network).
  • Open any web browser from your PC, and enter the MobileToolz URL from the previous step.
You should now have a Command Panel on your PC, which you can use to navigate your iPhone and utilize several of MobileToolz's functionalities, such as Remote Presentations and External Keyboard use (see screenshot below).

  • To delete a file or folder, select the Edit button from your iPhone's document module and then tap the delete button.
  • An even easier and quicker way to delete exists: simply 'right-swipe' the document or folder (slide your finger from left to right across the document or folder).
  • Note: the original folders that shipped with MobileToolz™ cannot be deleted.

- iPhone/iPod CPU Optimization in MobileToolz™ Web Browser Access Mode:
MobileToolz™ consists of multiple modules and services running simultaneously. It uses A.I. (artificial intelligence) to allocate its resources based on the module in use. When using Web Browser access, performance of MobileToolz™ Web Browser and Control Panel module (including screen refresh rates) will improve significantly after approximately 60 seconds, as it diverts its computing resources to focus on the task at hand.

2. File Transfer Via WebDAV Server:
MobileToolz™ contains a feature-rich WebDAV Server that enables you to access documents and folders in 'native' mode.
To use the "WebDAV" method, follow the steps below.

(a) From an Apple Macintosh computer:

Type Command- K
Then enter MobileToolz address:
for example:
http://10.0.1.2:8080
Then select "Connect" (See screen shot below).

You should be able to open up the MobileToolz documents folder in a native computer window. Drag and drop files and folders, and delete/create files and folders as you would natively do on your computer.

(b) From a Windows PC:

Select "Run" from the Start menu of your Windows pc, and enter the MobileToolz address after entering \\
for example:
\\10.0.1.2:8080
Then hit Return key.

You should be able to open up the MobileToolz documents folder in a native computer window.
Drag and drop files and folders, and delete/create files and folders as you would natively do on your computer.

Remember: You always have the backup of using the Web Browser method, which is compatible with all computers.

Help On External Keyboard Text Input:

  • On the Command Panel, select any field and start typing. Your text will appear on your iPhone/iPod as you type.
  • MobileToolz's text entry includes Auto-Correction so you can type as fast as you like, corrections will appear seconds later.
  • Note on MobileToolz™ CPU Optimization in Typing Mode: MobileToolz™ consists of multiple modules and services running simultaneously. It uses A.I. (artificial intelligence) to allocate its resources based on the module in use. When using External Keyboard input, performance of MobileToolz Keyboard Entry will improve significantly after approximately 60 seconds, as it diverts its computing resources to focus on the task at hand.

Help On Mobile Presentations:

  • Load up the document you want to present onto MobileToolz's Document module using either a WebDAV connection or a regular web browser (Command Panel - Documents Module). If you want to display mobile web pages, simply open up the webpage on MobileToolz on your phone using the "Downloader" module, which is also a mobile web browser.
  • Connect to MobileToolz from a PC as described above.
  • From your PC, click on the "Replicate" button to launch a stand-alone, live replica of your iPhone on the PC.

  • Note on MobileToolz™ CPU Optimization in Mobile Presentation Mode: MobileToolz™ consists of multiple modules and services running simultaneously. It uses A.I. (artificial intelligence) to allocate its resources based on the module in use. When using Mobile Presentation mode, performance of MobileToolz Screen Update rates will improve significantly after approximately 60 seconds, as it diverts its computing resources to focus on the task at hand.

Help On Faxing:

Faxing with MobileToolz™ is very easy: simply press the "Fax" button from any document view (in the Documents and mRemote modules) or from the Photo Lab. Then select a coversheet if needed, fill in the fields and tap "Send".
There are, however, a number of tips you should know to help you maximize the powerful faxing potentials of MobileToolz™ and avoid common pitfalls.


  • You can fax any document directly by selecting the document from the Documents Module of MobileToolz™.
  • You can also capture, modify and fax images from the Photo Labs Module of MobileToolz™.
  • Make sure your documents have a filename extension. For example: a PDF document should be named 'something.pdf'. Uppercase or lowercase filename extensions do not matter. 'something.PDF' is just as good.
  • Ensure documents have the correct filename extension: for example: .txt for text files, .xls or .xlsx for Excel spreadsheets, .jpg for JPEG images, etc.
  • Ensure you include the country code in the fax number, even if you are faxing to a local number. For example: "+12121234567" for a USA New York destination.
  • Do not include any leading zeros in the area code. For example: for UK numbers, drop the leading "0" for London, and simply use "+441...".
  • Important: When you send a fax, allow several seconds for the file to upload before exiting from MobileToolz™. You can confirm that fax upload is complete from the Fax Center: Select "Pending Faxes" and wait a few seconds for the status "Uploading" to change to "Uploaded..." or some other status. If you immediately quit MobileToolz™ after hitting the Fax Send button, your fax may not fully upload, and may be delayed, as upload will resume when next you launch MobileToolz™.
  • To resend a completed or failed fax, navigate to the fax details page, then select "Resend"
  • To cancel a fax that is awaiting credit top-up, navigate to the fax details page, then select "Cancel". Note: You can cancel only faxes that are awaiting top-up, since all other 'in-process' states are indeterminate.
  • Note: The fax preview pane can been scrolled, zoomed and panned. As you fill in cover page details, they appear immediately on the preview pane. Zoom to view details.

Notes:
  • Fax upload only takes a few seconds, sometimes less. Once upload is complete, you may quit MobileToolz™ if you choose. Faxing will continue via the remote Fax Servers, and you will be notified via Apple Push Notifications once your fax is completed.
  • Four (4) Fax Units are included free-of-charge, to enable immediate faxing/testing. Additional fax units can be obtained on-demand via In-App purchase, at approximately $0.99c per four units, or less with bulk purchase.

Help On Printing:

To print from your phone, there are two methods:

  1. Direct Printing (to Networked Printers)
  2. Shared Printing (to Shared Printers)
When you select the "Print" menu option (available in the Documents Module, the mRemote Module and the Photo Lab), the list of discovered printers will be displayed, separated into these two categories, as shown below.

1. Direct Printing:

  • Your printer should be connected directly to a network, for example: either through ethernet or Wi-Fi. That is, your printer should have its own IP address. Your printer normally automatically configures this once it is connected to the network.
  • Ensure your printer's IPP (internet printer protocol) option is enabled. This may be on by default on some printers. On others, you may need to access the configuration options of the printer, either directly, or through a web browser or PC, to enable it.
  • Next, access the same network (Wi-Fi) with your iPhone, and then launch MobileToolz. MobileToolz will scan the network and should detect connected network printers. This process should happen within about 30 seconds or even less.
  • Select the document your want to print from MobileToolz and tap the Print button.

If you do not see any printers, please check to make sure that your printer is connected to the network, that IPP (internet printing protocol) is enabled, and that you are on the same network with your phone.

2. Shared Printing:

For Printers that do not have Network access, (for example: printers that are connected directly to your computer via a USB cable) you can still print using "Shared Printing". The steps below describe the process of doing this:

On a Mac Computer:

  • select the printer from your computer's System Preferences -> Print & Fax panel, and enable shared access by clicking on the "Share this printer on the network" option. Check your "Sharing Preferences" to make sure "Printer Sharing" is also checked.
  • After the above one-time configuration, launch MobileToolz from your phone and log onto the same network as your computer. Make sure your computer is turned on (and also ensure the printer is turned on). You should then be able to see and print to the shared printer directly from your phone.

Help On Email:

MobileToolz™ provides a wide variety of ways to compose, save, edit, and send emails with single or multiple attached documents. Each method has its benefits and unique capabilities. In general emails can be composed:

  1. From the Mail Module on the iPhone/iPod (save, restore, attach multiple documents)
  2. From the Mail Module of the Command Panel (using external keyboard and very fast text entry, upload new attachments)

Help On Remote iPod Control:

MobileToolz™ includes PodController™: which features the ability to remotely control your iPod or iPhone's iPod module from any computer with a web browser. Access your iPod, change volume, view current playlist and song, with title, track info and lyrics, where available. Remotely start, stop, pause, rewind, and skip the currently playing song.

PodController™ works as a remote control for the iPod/iPhone, enabling users to start, stop, pause music and change volume remotely from their computer (Mac, Windows, Linux, others). In a typical configuration, the iPod/iPhone is physically connected to the stereo equipment, which may be located in a different room (for example: family room) from the user. PodController™ makes it possible for a user to remotely control their iPod music player without having to physically get up and walk over to the iPhone/iPod.

To operate PodController™:

  1. Launch the Command Panel from any computer as described in the Quick Start Help Guide.
  2. On your iPhone/iPod touch, launch MobileToolz™ and select the Music Module.
  3. Configure playlist on your iPhone. Note: You can also configure your iPhone's playlist using the built-in iPod app before launching MobileToolz™. Your playlist will be preserved and your currently running song will continue to play and will show up in MobileToolz™ Music Module.
  4. On the Command Panel on your computer, select the Music Module
  5. Use the web-based controls of the Command Panel on your computer to remotely start, stop, pause the iphone, or change the volume of your iphone, or skip forward and backward past the currently playing song.

Tips, Tricks and Shortcuts:

There are numerous features and shortcuts built into MobileToolz™ to make your user experience as enjoyable as possible. The list below contains just a few tips to get you started. You will no doubt discover new ones that work best for you as you continue to use MobileToolz™.

  • Faxing Tip: Before faxing images from the Photo Lab, 'Image-process' your images - change color to black and white, and if possible use the outline filter to drop most unnecessary detail. It will make for a faster and cheaper fax.
  • Faxing Tip: When creating files (or faxing files) make sure to add file extensions to the file name. File extensions are generally three letter suffixes preceded with a period, for example: .pdf
  • Faxing Tip: MobileToolz™ remembers 'permanent' fax coversheet fields, for example: your name. You do not have to enter these 'permanent' fields unless you want to change the stored values.
  • Faxing Tip: When faxing, after selecting a coversheet, and filling out the fields, you can 'try out' other coversheets without having to re-enter any of the fields. MobileToolz™ automatically temporarily remembers all your entries and applies them to each new fax coversheet. You can even preview the 'No CoverSheet' option without losing your entries. All temporary fields are 'forgotten' after the fax is sent.
  • Faxing Tip: When faxing, sure to include the country code when entering your fax number, even if your fax is going to a 'local' destination.
  • Faxing Tip: Skip the leading zero of your area code, if it contains one. for example: a UK number 01 234 5678 should be entered as +4412345678
  • Faxing Tip: When sending a fax, you can zoom, pan and scroll the "Preview" panel of your fax setup screen.
  • Faxing Tip: To resend a successful or failed fax (for example: to another destination), select the fax detail page from "Fax Center -> Delivered/Failed Faxes -> Your Fax", and then tap "Resend"
  • Faxing Tip: Enable Push Notifications for MobileToolz™ for fastest fax processing and status notifications.
  • Fax Center Tip: You can purchase additional fax coversheets. To do so, select Fax Center -> Cover Sheet Manager -> Cover Sheet Store.
  • Downloader Tip: You can download a wide variety of document types, including PDF, Microsoft Word, Excel, Zip file archives, text, html, and much more.
  • Downloader Tip: Be sure to enter a filename with the correct file extension when downloading a document from the web, either through the Document module or the Downloader module. If you do not select a file name with the correct file extension, you may not be able to view, print or fax the downloaded document.
  • Documents Module: To gain more screen space when viewing a document, tap on the "Menu" button to make the menu bar disappear and use the gained space for displaying the document.
