Full configuration by global userOnce the basic features have been configured using the AdderView CATxIP
5000 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 CATxIP 5000 unit:
• The VNC viewer – a small application supplied on the CD-ROM or
downloadable from the RealVNC website or even downloadable from the
AdderView CATxIP 5000 itself.
or
• A standard browser that supports Java – When a web browser makes
contact, the AdderView CATxIP 5000 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.
