10.Some circumstances might open a Connection Details dialog (FIG. 76) requesting a VNC Server IP Address. This is not the IP of the Master but of the target touch panel. Depending on which method of communication you are using, it can be found in either the:

Wired Ethernet - System Connection > IP Settings section within the IP Address field.

Wireless - Secondary Connection > IP Settings section within the IP Address field.

If this field does not appear, continue to step 11.

11.If a WebControl password was setup on the G4 WebControl page, a G4 Authentication Session password dialog box appears on the screen within the secondary browser window.

12.Enter the WebControl session password into the Session Password field (FIG. 75). This password was previously entered into the Web Control Password field within the G4 Web Control page on the panel.

13.Click OK to send the password to the panel and begin the session. A confirmation message appears stating "Please wait, Initial screen loading..".

The secondary window then becomes populated with the same G4 page being displayed on the target G4 panel. A small circle appears within the on-screen G4 panel page and corresponds to the location of the mouse cursor. A left-mouse click on the computer-displayed panel page equates to an actual touch on the target G4 panel page.

What to do when a Certificate Expires

Self-generated certificates have a duration period of approximately 30 years. Most externally requested CA certificates are generally valid for a period of approximately 1 - 5 years.

The only way to avoid a CA certificate becoming invalid due to a time expiration is to request a new certificate from your current CA.

Refer to theServer - Creating a Request for an SSL Certificate section on page 81 for more information on how to request an externally generated certificate.
