9.Click Yes from the Security Alert popup window to agree to the installation of the G4 WebControl application on your computer. This application contains the necessary Active X and VNC client applications necessary to properly view and control the panel pages from your computer.

The G4 WebControl application is sent by the panel to the computer that is used for communication. Once the application is installed, this popup no longer appears. This popup only appears if connecting to the target panel using a different computer.

10.Some circumstances might open a Connection Details dialog (FIG. 78) requesting a VNC Server IP Address. This is not the IP of the Master but of the target touch panel. Depending on which method of communication you are using, it can be found in either the:

Wired Ethernet - System Connection > IP Settings section within the IP Address field. Wireless - Secondary Connection > IP Settings section within the IP Address field.

If this field does not appear, continue to step 11.

11.If a WebControl password was setup on the G4 WebControl page, a G4 Authentication Session password dialog box appears on the screen within the secondary browser window.

12.Enter the WebControl session password into the Session Password field (FIG. 77). This password was previously entered into the Web Control Password field within the G4 Web Control page on the panel.

13.Click OK to send the password to the panel and begin the session. A confirmation message appears stating "Please wait, Initial screen loading..".

The secondary window then becomes populated with the same G4 page being displayed on the target G4 panel. A small circle appears within the on-screen G4 panel page and corresponds to the location of the mouse cursor. A left-mouse click on the computer-displayed panel page equates to an actual touch on the target G4 panel page.
