If you need to enter a port number
Usually, when you make a network connection to the AdderView CATx IP (either
using the VNC viewer or a Web browser) you simply enter the IP address, i.e.
192.168.0.3. However, if a special configuration is necessary, then you may be
asked to specify a port number as well as the IP address.
What is a port?
To enter a port number in a Web browser
1 Enter the required IP address in the usual Address box,
i.e. http://192.168.0.3
2 At the end of the IP address, add a single colon (:) and then enter the port
number (in this example, the required port number is 8000),
i.e. http://192.168.0.3:8000
3 Continue with the standard Web browser instructions.
To enter a port number in VNC viewer
1 Enter the required IP address in the usual ‘Server’ box,
i.e. http://192.168.0.3
2 At the end of the IP address, add two colons (::) and then enter the port
number (in this example, the required port number is 8000),
i.e. http://192.168.0.3::8000
3 Continue with the standard VNC viewer instructions.
Access via dial up (modem or ISDN) link
When you gain access via modem or ISDN link, the AdderView CATx IP uses
standard network protocols to create a private two-device network. This
approach ensures consistency and allows you to use exactly the same VNC
viewer or browser to view the host computers. This is achieved using PPP (Point
to Point Protocol) and means that you need to use a dial-up networking method
to initiate the connection. Such software is standard with operating systems
such as Windows, Linux and Mac OS.
To initiate a dial up link
1 Using a system that has a modem or ISDN adapter installed, locate the
dial-up networking option on your system. Please refer to your system
documentation for more information.
2 Using the dial-up networking option, enter the telephone/ISDN number
where the AdderView CATx IP can be contacted.
3 Initiate the call and when the link is made, continue with either the standard
VNC viewer or browser connection.
Note: For the viewer network connection address, you must use the IP
address that the admin user has set as the Server address (or PPP server IP
address) within the Modem configuration screen.
