Connecting via dial up (modem or ISDN) link
When you use a modem or ISDN link to make the connection, the Wizard IP
uses standard network protocols to create a private two-device network. This
approach ensures consistency and allows you to use exactly the same VNC
viewer or browser to view the hosts systems. This is achieved using PPP (Point to
Point Protocol) and means that you need to use a dial-up networking method to
initiate the connection. Such software is standard with operating systems such
as Windows, Linux and Mac OS.
To initiate a dial up link
1 Using a system that has a modem or ISDN adapter installed, locate the
dial-up networking option on your system. Please refer to your system
documentation for more information.
2 Using the dial-up networking option, enter the telephone/ISDN number
where the Wizard IP can be contacted.
3 Initiate the call and when the link is made, continue with either the standard

or
Note: For the viewer network connection address, you must use the IP
address that the admin user has set as the Server address (or PPP server IP
address) within the Modem configuration screen.

To download the VNC viewer

application.
If you need to enter a port number
Usually, when you make a network connection to the Wizard IP (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),
