Accessing ViewPoint Remotely
Because the ViewPoint Interface is Web browser-based, any user on the SonicWALL's
LAN may login and look at ViewPoint network reports. Even users located across a VPN
or accessing network resources through applications such as pcAnywhere should be
able to contact the ViewPoint Web Interface.
To access ViewPoint, the remote user should launch a Web browser, then type
http://
<ViewPoint Server IP Address>
into the
Location
or
Address
field of the Web
browser.
Note:
If the ViewPoint Web Interface uses a different port than port 80, add the port
number after the IP address, for example, type
http://<IP Address>:8080
.
Note:
Internet Explorer 4.0 or greater or Netscape Navigator 4.x should be used to
login and manage ViewPoint. The Web browser must also be enabled for Java and
cookies and support Java applets.
1. Type the ViewPoint
User Name
and
Password
.
2. Click
Login
to access to the Web Interface.
The remote user can now view network reports and perform all management functions.
