# Setting up VIP Remote Panel mode on a MP-16 or DS-16

## Scope

Starting with version 2.4.10, Infinity Master Panels and Desktop Panels can be used to remotely use an Infinity VIP panel. This includes control, as well as audio.

## Prerequisites

- To take advantage of this feature, you must be on at least version 2.4.10 on your MP-16 or DS-16. Information on downloading and updating to the latest Infinity MP-16/DS-16 version can be found [here](/v1/docs/infinity-24-software-update-and-release-notes).
- You will need to ensure that your Infinity MP-16/DS-16's primary port is connected to a network with internet connectivity (so that it can reach the VIP panel over the internet).

> [!WARNING]
> When in Remote Panel mode, no multicast audio is sent out via the primary port.

- You must have a VIP panel, with a valid domain and SSL certificate installed

## Configuration

Once the above prerequisites have been met, configuring Remote Panel mode is simple.

1. Navigate to the web interface of your MP-16/DS-16 panel
2. Go to the Setup tab and ensure the network settings on the primary port are valid. It is also necessary to have a valid DNS Server address. In this example, we are using 8.8.8.8, but you should use the DNS address used for your network

3. On the right side of the Setup page, you will see a new **Remote** section, which defaults to "Off":

4. Click on the dropdown menu and select "On." The **Remote** section should automatically update, showing some additional information for configuration:

5. In the **Remote Panel Address** field, enter the URL for the VIP panel that you would like to control. It should be in the format of *wss://vipdomainname.com/vip1*

> [!WARNING]
> Note that the name of the panel may differ for you, depending on your system. It might be in the format of *vip1*, or *vip101*. Typically, VIP Appliance systems are *vip1*, *vip2*, etc. AWS systems tend to be in the format of *vip101*, *vip102*, etc.

> [!WARNING]
> You will have a GUI administrative password configured on your VIP system, and will need to include this in the remote connection URL. The format is:
> 
> *wss://admin:password@vipdomainname.com/vip1/websocket*

1. Click on **Apply & Reboot**
2. When the panel boots back up, you can now remotely use your VIP panel by using your MP-16 or DS-16 panel.
