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