Admin password

Enter a password of at least six characters that has a mix of letters and numerals. The background colour provides an indication of password suitability and is initially red to indicate that the password is not sufficient. When a password with reasonable strength has been entered it changes to blue.

Time and Date

Set these correctly as all entries in the activity log are time stamped using them.

The default items here are perfectly adequate for the majority of modem and ISDN terminal adapter installations.

The Server IP and Client IP addresses are used to form an isolated two-device PPP network connection via the dial up link. Their settings are not related to any other ‘real’ network settings within the

CPU IP.

Use DHCP/IP address/Net Mask/Gateway

You need to either set the DHCP option to ‘Yes’ or manually enter a valid IP address, Net mask and Gateway. See Networking issues for more details.

VNC and HTTP ports These should remain set to 5900 and 80, respectively, unless they clash with an existing setup within the network. See Networking issues for more details.

for secure VNC access Please move the mouse or press keys until the bar becomes full

With every mouse move and keypress, the single dash will move across the screen (unless the same key is pressed repeatedly). Periodically, a new star character will be added to the bar as the random data is accepted as part of the new encryption key. When the bar is full, the final encryption keys for your CPU IP will be created – this process takes roughly 30 to 40 seconds.
