1 Use either the VNC viewer or a standard web browser to make remote
contact with the SC5-4xIP – see

for more details.

admin password or the username / password of a user with admin privilege

otherwise a ‘No Signal’ message.

Full configuration by global user
Once the basic features have been configured using the SC5-4xIP 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 SC5-
4xIP unit:
•
The VNC viewer
– a small application supplied on the CD-ROM or
downloadable from the RealVNC website or even downloadable from the
SC5-4xIP itself.
or
•
A standard browser that supports Java
– When a web browser makes
contact, the SC5-4xIP 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.
