Global user access via web browser

You can use a standard Web browser (supported versions) to gain access to the AdderView CATx IP and its host computer(s). As soon as you make contact with the AdderView CATx IP it will begin downloading a small Java application to your browser, which will be used only for the duration of your connection.

To access via your web browser

1Launch your standard Web browser as usual.

•If you are using a dial up link.

2In the Address section, type the address of the AdderView CATx IP as follows:

http://v.w.x.y

where v.w.x.y is the IP network address, for example 192.168.0.3

•If you have been asked to also enter a port number. 3 Press . A connection attempt will be made.

4In the browser window, select the ‘Connect using built-in Java VNC viewer’ option to download a small application that will temporarily empower your browser (on slow connections the application download can take several tens of seconds to complete). Once complete, a connection details dialog will be displayed:

The previously entered AdderView CATx IP address will be shown here

If required, select the encryption mode - MORE [+]

Options button

Provides a range of viewer and connection settings - MORE [+]

5Make any necessary option/encryption changes and click the OK button to proceed. Depending on the options selected, you may need to confirm certain items.

6A second connection attempt will be made and if successful, an authentication dialog will be displayed:

7Enter your username and password. The viewer window should now open and show the current host computer. Note: If the Username entry is blanked out then only admin user account is currently defined and only a password is required.

IMPORTANT: During login, if you see a warning message similar to the one shown here, then stop and do not proceed.

This message is displayed if an AdderView CATx IP unit, that your viewer has previously visited, has had a change of security keys. This is not uncommon if a unit is reset for some reason. However, it could also mean that your trusted unit is being spoofed and you may not be connecting to the system that you think you are.

Do not click the Yes button until you have checked with your administrator that the trusted AdderView CATx IP unit has been recently reset for some reason.
