Part 2 – Remote configuration
The second part of the configuration requires you to log into the Wizard IP
Plus from a system via either a network connection or a dial-up connection (via
modem or ISDN). In either case there are two types of access applications that
you can use:
The VNC viewer – a small application supplied on the CD-ROM or
downloadable from the RealVNC website or even downloadable from the
Wizard IP Plus itself.
or
A standard browser that supports Java – As soon as a web browser makes
contact, the Wizard IP Plus downloads a Java application to it. This allows a
viewer window to be opened and operation to commence just as it would
with the VNC viewer application.
To perform the remote configuration
1 Use either the VNC viewer or a standard web browser to make remote
contact with the Wizard IP Plus – see Connecting to the Wizard IP Plus for
more details.
2 If the username entry is not blanked out, enter ‘admin’. Then enter the
password that was set during the local configuration stage (if no password
was set, then just press ). Once logged in, the Wizard IP Plus will show
the video output from the host system (if one is connected), or otherwise a
‘No Signal’ message.
3 Click the Configure button in the top right hand corner of the window to
display the configuration menu
