10 ACCESSING VIEWPOINT REMOTELY

Because the ViewPoint Interface is Web browser-based, any user on the SonicWALL's LAN may login and look at ViewPoint network reports. Even users located across a VPN or accessing network resources through applications such as pcAnywhere should be able to contact the ViewPoint Web Interface.

To access ViewPoint, the remote user should launch a Web browser, then type http://<ViewPoint Server IP Address> into the Location or Address field of the Web browser.

Note: If the ViewPoint Web Interface uses a different port than port 80, add the port number after the IP address, for example, type http://<IP Address>:8080.

Note: Internet Explorer 4.0 or greater or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or greater should be used to login and manage ViewPoint. The Web browser must also be enabled for Java and cookies and support Java applets.

1.Type the ViewPoint User Name and Password.

2.Click the Login button to login to the Web Interface.

The remote user will be able to view network reports and perform management functions.
