IP configuration by global user
Once the basic IP-related features have been configured using the MC5-IP
configuration menus, further changes can be made by authorised global users
via the VNC interface. There are two main ways to use the VNC interface to
access the MC5-IP unit:
•
– a small application supplied on the CD-ROM or
downloadable from the RealVNC website or even downloadable from the
MC5-IP itself.
or
•
A standard browser that supports Java
– When a web browser makes
contact, the MC5-IP provides the option to download 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.
