Part 2 – Remote configuration
The second part of the configuration requires you to log into the AdderLink
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 Adder and RealVNC websites or even downloadable
from the AdderLink IP itself.
or
• A standard browser that supports Java – As soon as a web browser makes
contact, the AdderLink 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.
To perform the remote configuration
1 Use either the VNC viewer or a standard web browser to make remote
contact with the AdderLink IP – see
Connecting to the AdderLink IP

2 If the username entry is not blanked out, enter ‘admin’. Then enter the
password that was set during the local configuration stage (if no password
was set, then just press

video output from the host system (if one is connected), or otherwise a ‘No
Signal’ message.
