Part 2 – Remote configuration
The second part of the configuration requires you to log into the iPEPS from
a system via a network connection using either of the following two access
applications:
• The VNC viewer – a small application supplied on the CD-ROM or
downloadable from the Adder and RealVNC websites or even downloadable
from the iPEPS itself.
or
• A standard browser that supports Java – As soon as a web browser makes
contact, the iPEPS downloads 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.
To perform the remote configuration
1 Use either the VNC viewer or a standard web browser to make remote
contact with the iPEPS – see Connecting to the iPEPS for more details.
2 If the username entry is not blanked out, enter ‘admin’. Then enter the
password that was set during the local configuration stage (if no password
was set, then just press ). Once logged in, the iPEPS will show the video
output from the host system (if one is connected), or otherwise a ‘No Signal’
message.
3 Click the Configure button in the top right hand corner of the window to
display the configuration menu
Several of the options within the configuration menu duplicate those
that are available in the local configuration (Dual Access model only).
However, there are other settings that are only available here.

Network configuration

to specifically include or exclude certain addresses or networks.
