IP configuration by global user

Once the basic IP-related features have been configured using the ServSwitch CX with IP configuration menus, further changes can be made by authorised global users via the VNC interface. There are two main ways to use the VNC interface to access the ServSwitch CX with IP unit:

•The VNC viewer – a small application supplied on the CD-ROM or downloadable from the RealVNC website or even downloadable from the ServSwitch CX with IP itself.

•A standard browser that supports Java – When a web browser makes contact, the ServSwitch CX with IP provides the option to download 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.
