Pair a device

Before a device can use your Mac, you pair it, once, at the Mac. Only someone who can see the Mac’s screen and approve there can pair a new device.

Pair an iPad or iPhone

1. At the Mac, in Qispi Host’s menu, choose Pair a New Device…: a window shows a code to scan.
2. On the iPad or iPhone, point the Camera app at it. Qispi opens.
3. Qispi asks first: only pair with a code you’ve just scanned on your own Mac’s screen.
4. The Mac asks Allow this device to use this Mac?, with a code. Check it’s the same code as on your device, and choose Allow.

That’s it: your Mac appears on Qispi’s home page from now on.

Pair a Mac

A Mac usually has no camera pointed at another Mac’s screen, so you copy a link instead:

1. In the pairing window on the Mac you want to use, choose Copy Pairing Link.
2. On the other Mac, in Qispi, choose Paste Pairing Link. With the same Apple ID on both Macs, the link is already on the clipboard there (Universal Clipboard).
3. Approve on the Mac, as above.

Several Macs

Pair as many Macs as you like: choose Pair Another Mac… on Qispi’s home page. Each one is listed there, with a green dot when it can be reached right now.

Forget a device

• At the Mac: Qispi Host’s menu › Paired Devices › the device › Forget…. It can’t connect again until it’s paired again. Rename… is there too, to tell your devices apart.
• On your device: on the Remote screen, the Mac’s ⋯ › Forget This Mac.
