The VNC port: Initial configuration
This section deals with the initial configuration of the VNC port of the ALIF 2112T unit.
For details about the main System and Teaming ports, please
see here
.
The default IP address of the VNC port is
192.168.1.42
; it is possible to change this
either through the VNC viewer or via the
TX System Configuration
page.
Initial connection to the VNC port
Configuration of the VNC port section of the ALIF 2112T is carried out via a network,
using a VNC Viewer program running on a computer or mobile device. VNC Viewers are
available for most computers, tablets and smartphones.
• If you already have a VNC viewer, please follow the Initial configuration instructions
given on the next page.
• If you do not already have a VNC viewer, there are three options:
• You can download a Windows VNC Viewer from the ALIF 2112T itself.
• You can download the latest VNC Viewers for most operating systems via the
RealVNC website, or for tablets and smartphones from the appropriate app store.
• Without downloading anything, you can run a Java version of the VNC Viewer inside
your web browser.
