If you need to enter a port number

Usually, when you make a network connection to the AdderView CATxIP 1000 (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 configuration 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

1Enter the required IP address in the usual Address box, . i.e. http://192.168.0.3

2At 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

3Continue with the standard Web browser instructions.

To enter a port number in VNC viewer

1Enter the required IP address in the usual ‘Server’ box, . i.e. http://192.168.0.3

2At 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

3Continue with the standard VNC viewer instructions.

Viewer encryption settings

The web browser viewers and VNC viewers (of level 4.0b5S or higher) offer four encryption options. The resulting actions of certain options depend upon how the AdderView CATxIP 1000 to which you are connecting is configured:

•Always on - This setting will ensure that the link is encrypted, regardless of the AdderView CATxIP 1000 encryption setting.

•Let server choose - This setting will follow the configuration of the AdderView CATxIP 1000. If the AdderView CATxIP 1000 has a preference to encrypt the link, then it will be so, otherwise the link will not be encrypted.

•Prefer off - This setting will configure an un-encrypted link if the AdderView CATxIP 1000 will allow it, otherwise it will be encrypted.

•Prefer on - If the AdderView CATxIP 1000 allows it, this setting will configure an encrypted link, otherwise it will be un-encrypted.

Whenever encryption does take place, the viewer will first need to create the necessary secure key before the connection process can continue.
