11.1.4.3 Accessing the MC through a VNC Viewer
The following examples are based on the use of the RealVNC viewer for PC/MAC. Once the default settings
have been entered, just enter the IP address and port number for the MC, and click the “Connect” button to
access the MC over the network.
Intranet Example:
If the IP address assigned is 192.168.3.5 and the configured VNC Address is 1, from the
PC’s VNC Viewer address field, enter '192.168.3.5:1’ to access the device (address 1 relates to port 5901,
address 2 to port 5902, etc., which is the port opened by the VNC server in order to allow communications with
the MC over the network).
Internet Example:
Internet connection usually requires a qualified network System Administrator. Typically a
permanent IP address and specific port address are assigned to the MC; support on this action is beyond the
scope of this guide.
Consult your network system administrator for assistance in setting up an Internet
connection.
If the IP address of the LAN is 69.216.64.69 and the configured VNC Address is 1 (port 5901 has been opened
and assigned to this specific MC controller), from the remote PC (outside of the site Servers LAN), in the VNC
Viewer address field enter ‘69.216.64.69::5901’ to access the device (5901 relates to address 1, 5902 to
address 2, 5903 to address 3, etc., note the double colon).
NOTE: The IP address shown on the communications screen of the MC is the local LAN address and would
not typically be used for an Internet connection.
Security Example: If the VNC server password is enabled on the MC for either example above, upon pressing
the “Connect” button to make the connection, the VNC viewer will prompt for the proper password. The
connection will only be established once a valid password is entered.
