Once you start your applications all computers that have Emit desktop application running should appear automatically within the application when you are on the same local network. To manually refresh and search for servers press a Refresh icon in action (top) bar. On smaller devices you can find that icon by pressing Menu button.
If you wish to connect to a remote computer, you need to add a remote server. You can do that by pressing an "Add server" icon. Select "PIN Server" and enter PIN which can be found in Emit desktop application (for linux version check README file) and press "Add server".
If autodetect doesn't work or it isn't enabled you need to manually add a server. Do that by pressing an "Add server" icon and selecting "Local server". Insert your server name (pick any name you want) and the IP address of the server. By changing from "123" to "ABC" you can enter local domain.
To remove/edit a manually added server press on three dots and select desired action. A popup will appear.
Select a server under "Source" view to display contents of that server. If you secure your server application with password, you will be prompted for password.
