If you need to enter a port number

Usually, when you make a network connection to the SC5-4xIP (either using the
VNC viewer or a Web browser) you simply enter the IP address, i.e. 192.168.0.3.
However, if a special configuration is necessary, then you may be asked to
specify a port number as well as the IP address.
What is a port?
To enter a port number in a Web browser
1 Enter the required IP address in the usual Address box,
i.e. http://192.168.0.3
2 At the end of the IP address, add a single colon (:) and then enter the port
number (in this example, the required port number is 8000),
i.e. http://192.168.0.3:8000
3 Continue with the standard Web browser
To enter a port number in VNC viewer

Viewer encryption settings

The web browser viewers and VNC viewers (of level 4.0b5S or higher) offer four
encryption options. The resulting actions of certain options depend upon how
the SC5-4xIP to which you are connecting is configured:
• Always on - This setting will ensure that the link is encrypted, regardless of
the SC5-4xIP encryption setting.
• Let server choose - This setting will follow the configuration of the SC5-
4xIP. If the SC5-4xIP has a preference to encrypt the link, then it will be so,
otherwise the link will not be encrypted.
• Prefer off - This setting will configure an un-encrypted link if the SC5-4xIP
will allow it, otherwise it will be encrypted.
• Prefer on - If the SC5-4xIP allows it, this setting will configure an encrypted
link, otherwise it will be un-encrypted.
Whenever encryption does take place, the viewer will first need to create the
necessary secure key before the connection process can continue.
