For modem to modem communication, point to Modem on the Remote menu, and
then click Dial. Enter the number of the local PC and click OK.
For Ethernet communication, point to TCP/IP on the Remote menu, and then click
Connect. Enter the IP address and port number of the local PC and click Connect.
When communication is established, the Viewport screen on the remote PC will
appear just as if a direct connection existed with the control system. In contrast, the
Viewport screen on the local PC will open a PC Passthrough Mode dialog box,
showing the local and remote connection types, and the number of bytes of data
being passed back and forth between the control system and the remote PC. Other
Viewport functions will be disabled for as long as the local PC is in PC Passthrough
mode.
To terminate the connection and take the local PC out of PC Passthrough mode, click
Stop.

Remote Console

The Remote Console submenu enables access to the console of a network device,
such as a TPS touchpanel or CNTV. Click Connect and then enter the Net ID of the
device to be accessed, then click OK. Once the connection is established commands
can be issued directly to that device console from Viewport. To terminate
communication, click Disconnect.
