Remote Network Access

Access to the system outside of the local network (via the internet) requires port forwarding to be con g-
ured on the network router to allow access to the VNC server on the controller.
• A static IP address should be assigned to the controller in the network router.
• An external port should be opened and directed to port 5900 on the GCX controller.
• If the internet service is not static IP, consider dyndns or similar service for a static access url.
For "port forwarding" instructions, please reference the manual for your network router.
Each router has unique menus, however, the process is generally the same.
