Part 2 – Remote configuration
The second part of the configuration requires you to log into the AdderLink IP
Gold 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 Gold itself.
or
• A standard browser that supports Java – As soon as a web browser makes
contact, the AdderLink IP Gold 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.
Allows you to create and manage up to sixteen separate user
Allows you to set the current time and date as well as the
timezone specifier and specify a network timeserver, if necessary
