23. Starting a remote session

At a Client computer open Internet Explorer (6.0 and above) and type the Smart

116IP’s IP address. https://IP address. (Note! Only SSL connections are allowed, therefore type HTTPS before the IP address or the name of the Smart 116 IP). The Login page appears. Type your username and password and press Enter. By default, the user name is: admin and the password is access, (both lower case).

On first connection install the Minicom certificate and ActiveX control. You must login as an Administrator to your computer to install the ActiveX control. Once the ActiveX control is installed, all types of users can login.

On connecting, the screen of the lowest numbered Target Server that the user has permission to access appears. Figure 20 illustrates the remote session window.
