2In the Address section, type the address of the ServSwitch CX Uno IP as follows:

http://v.w.x.y

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

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:
