Part 1. Configuration and Installation

Q: PC performance requirements for Total Control?

Ordinary home PC or office PC can be connected to less than 4 devices,If multiple devices need to be connected,the configuration of the computer should be adjusted according to the number.Generally,it requires I3 CPU or above to connect 10 devices. I5 CPU above to connect 30 devices. I7 CPU above to connect 50 devices, Memory above 8g, and USB3.0 support.TC requires high frequency CPU rather than multi-thread CPU, so Intel I series CPU is recommended instead of E series CPU.

Q: Total Control requirements for the PC OS?

Currently supported operating systems are Win Xp (32/64bits), Win7 (32/64bits), Win 8 (32/64bits), and Win10 (32/64bits).

Q: Total Control requirements for phone performance?

In order to get a better experience, it is recommended that the CPU of the mobile phone should be above 1GHz and the memory should be above 1GB.

Q: Total Control requirements for mobile operating systems?

Supports Android 6.x ~ 14, and does not support other operating systems such as iOS, WP.

Q: Total Control hardware requirements?

USB connection: In order to ensure the stability of the connection, you need to choose a relatively good data cable, preferably the original data cable of the mobile phone. At the same time, you need to ensure that the USB power supply is sufficient, and the single port power supply is more than 1 amp. It is recommended to plug the data cable into the USB interface at the back of the case. If you are connecting multiple mobile phones, you need to use a USB Hub. The number of Hubs should be 10 ports. The Hub with more than this number will have power supply problems, which will lead to disconnection. It is recommended to use Sipolar's industrial-grade Hub.

TCP connection: WiFi connection has high requirements on the network. If there is delay or packet loss in the network, it will affect the transmission speed of the software or cause to drop. It is recommended to use a better AP. The AP and the mobile phone are connected to 5G.

Q: What is Adb? What does Adb do in TC?

Adb is the Android debugging tool; the connection and data communication between the PC and the mobile phone in the TC is performed by the tool.

Q: Adb devices show phone is always offline

Reason:
1. The mobile terminal does not allow access to the mobile phone. 2. The Adb version is too low. 3. The data cable is loose.
Solution:
1. Re-plug the phone or turn the USB debugging switch on/off again. When the phone pops up on the right window, click Allow.
2. Upgrade the Adb version.
3. Replace the data cable and retest.

Q: Adb devices always shows the phone Unauthorized

Q: How do I determine if Adb conflicts on my computer? What should I do after a conflict?

Start-run-cmd, execute Adb devices, if Adb out of date or Adb kill-sever, it means there is Adb conflict. Solution, stop TC and other similar tools, the entire computer search, except keep the TC installation directory Except for adb.exe, all the rest are deleted.

Q: The pop-up prompt box finds that the adb service conflicts with XXX, please exit the XXX software.

In this case, you can generally follow the prompts. If it is not successful, please turn off the prompted process in the task manager process. E.g:

Q: Device not detected or device detected 0

Reason: 1. The phone USB debugging is not turned on; 2. The device is not installed with the phone driver; 3. Adb conflicts, there are multiple different versions of the Adb.exe file in the system.
Solution:
1. Check USB Debugging in the phone developer options.
2. Install the driver (refer to the phone driver installation)
3. Resolve Adb conflicts (refer to Adb conflict resolution)。

Q: After the program starts, only the phone serial number is recognized and the phone name is not displayed.

Reason: 1. The phone driver is not installed successfully. 2. Multiple versions of Adb are enabled in the system.
Solution: 1. Confirm that the phone driver is successfully installed. 2. Close the TC program, clean up the redundant Adb files in the system, and then re-run the TC.

Q: The program does not respond when you double-click to start the TC

Reason: 1. There are multiple versions of Java at the same time; 2. The Java upgrade causes the Java startup path to change. 3. The program startup permissions are not enough.
Solution: Clean up all Java environments and then reinstall TC. Right click on the TC launch icon -> Run as administrator.

Q: Double-click the TC icon to start the program prompt "TC is starting, do not restart TC"

First, you need to confirm whether it is a repeated startup. If not, it may be due to insufficient permissions. You need to run with administrator privileges. Right click on TC Shortcut -> Run as administrator.

Q: It is detected that the APP version does not match the APP version number of the mobile terminal.

Reason: 1. Each version of the TC computer client corresponds to a unique mobile client; if your mobile client is downloaded through the app store, the version may not match the current computer TC software. 2. The decompression of the mobile terminal APK program failed, which caused the computer to fail to obtain the version number of the mobile terminal.
Solution: 1. Since the PC client of TC has the function of automatically pushing and installing the mobile phone terminal, the user does not need to download the mobile phone client through the app store. If manual installation is required, the file can be directly obtained from the computer installation directory: Sigma-RT\Total Control\apk\MobileAgent.apk. 2. After the mobile phone APK is installed successfully, click to start it once to extract the file.

Q: Xiaomi and Redmi phones repeatedly installed APK, and the installation failed?

This happens because the USB option is not enabled in the developer options. Just go to [Settings] -> [Developer Options] on the phone and open [USB Installation], as shown below.
