Part 2 – Remote conguration
The second part of the conguration requires you to log into the CPU IP 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
CPU IP itself.
or
• A standard browser that supports Java – As soon as a web browser makes
contact, the CPU IP 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 conguration
1 Use either the VNC viewer or a standard web browser to make remote
contact with the CPU IP – see Connecting to the CPU IP’ for more details.
2 If the username entry is not blanked out, enter ‘admin’. Then enter the
password that was set during the local conguration stage (if no password
was set, then just press ). Once logged in, the CPU IP will show the video
output from the host system (if one is connected), or otherwise a ‘No Signal’
message.
3 Click the Congure button in the top right hand corner of the window to
display the conguration menu
