If you need to enter a port number
Usually, when you make a network connection to the MC5-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 conguration 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 MC5-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 MC5-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 conguration screen.
