Part 2 - Remote Configuration - Lindy CPU IP Access Switch Plus User Manual

Part 2 – Remote configuration
The second part of the configuration requires you to log into the CPU IP 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 RealVNC website or even downloadable from the
CPU IP itself.
or
• A standard browser that supports Java – As soon as a web browser makes
contact, the CPU IP 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.
