Working With TightVNC

Connecting to Your Unit with TightVNC

Once the TightVNC Viewer is installed on your computer, you are ready to
access your unit remotely.

To connect to your unit with TightVNC:
1.
Connect both the computer and your unit to the same network and

make sure they can “see” each other as network restrictions might
prevent them from communicating.

If you want to use an Ethernet network, connect an RJ-45
(network) cable to the unit’s RJ-45 port located on its right panel.

If you want to use a wireless network, see Connecting to a Wireless
Network
on page 150.

You can also create a Private Area Network with your Bluetooth
device (see Transferring Data via Bluetooth on page 143).

2. Turn on both the computer and the unit.

3. On your unit, ensure that ToolBox is open.

4. At the bottom of the button bar, tap

.

5. Tap Platform.

6. Scroll down until you can see the IP address.
