7/5/2023 0 Comments Screenrecycler reviewsScreenRecycler is currently a time limited, free prelease version and we cannot wait for the full release which will hopefully sport more features. Something that Teleport doesn’t support and is great for headless Macs! In contrast, Teleport’s main function is to allow a user to control 2 or more Macs from a single networked Mac terminal. Unlike Abyssoft’s Teleport which we reviewed some time back, ScreenRecycler doesn’t just extend your Desktop but facilitates the abiilty to display your Desktop on the screen of another networked Mac. Screenrec is truly FREE and the best Screenrec is truly FREE, and doesnt bother you with pop-ups asking you to pay. Then we opened port 6900, of the Firewalls, on both Client and Server machines. To avoid conflict, we set our ScreenRecycler to utilise port 6900 using the ScreenRecycler Preferences options. You can even use an old Windows PC for that purpose. By default, ScreenRecycler uses port 5900 which is also used by Apple Remote Desktop (ARD), which requires some tweaking of ScreenRecycler’s access port and also the Firewall on both Client and Server machines. ScreenRecycler now enables you to use this spare computer as second display for your Mac. About the most troublesome issue that you may encounter, is a likely conflicting access port used by ScreenRecycler. Simply download the package from Jinx and install the necessary driver and application on Client and Server machine and you’re on your way. Most headless Macs are usually accessed and controlled using a VNC application of some sort but sometimes, its simpler if you could just interface with the headless Mac directly and be able to see what you’re doing. If you have a ‘headless’ (one without a screen) Mac somewhere and another Mac with a screen, linked through a network, ScreenRecycler from Jinx might be just the bet for you!
