Downloading VNC viewer from the SC5-IP
The SC5-IP has the ability to distribute its own VNC viewer application.
To download the VNC viewer
1 Open your Web browser.
2 Enter the network address where the SC5-IP is situated (in the form:
http://192.168.0.3) and make the link.
3 In the opening SC5-IP screen, click the link that offers to download
the secure VNC viewer ‘from the unit’.
4 Save the download file (vncviewer.exe) to your system.
5 Select and run the downloaded file and then connect to the SC5-IP
using the VNC viewer application.
This message is displayed if an SC5-IP unit, that your viewer has
previously visited, has had a change of security keys. This is not
uncommon if a unit is reset for some reason. However, it could also
mean that your trusted unit is being spoofed and you may not be
connecting to the system that you think you are.
Do not click the
Yes
button until you have checked with your
administrator that the trusted SC5-IP unit has been recently reset for
some reason.
