IP configuration by global user

Once the basic IP-related features have been configured using the AdderView CATx 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 AdderView CATx IP unit:

•The VNC viewer – a small application supplied on the CD-ROM or downloadable from the Adder and RealVNC websites or even downloadable from the AdderView CATx IP itself.

or

•A standard browser that supports Java – When a web browser makes contact, the AdderView CATx 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.
