If you need to enter a port number
Usually, when you make a network connection to the SC5-4xIP (either using the
VNC viewer or a Web browser) you simply enter the IP address, i.e. 192.168.0.3.
However, if a special configuration is necessary, then you may be asked to
specify a port number as well as the IP address.
What is a port?
To enter a port number in a Web browser
1 Enter the required IP address in the usual Address box,
i.e. http://192.168.0.3
2 At the end of the IP address, add a single colon (
:
) and then enter the port
number (in this example, the required port number is 8000),
i.e. http://192.168.0.3:8000
3 Continue with the standard
Web browser instructions
.
To enter a port number in VNC viewer
1 Enter the required IP address in the usual ‘Server’ box,
i.e. http://192.168.0.3
2 At the end of the IP address, add two colons (
::
) and then enter the port
number (in this example, the required port number is 8000),
i.e. http://192.168.0.3::8000
3 Continue with the standard
VNC viewer instructions
.
Viewer encryption settings
The web browser viewers and VNC viewers (of level 4.0b5S or higher) offer four
encryption options. The resulting actions of certain options depend upon how
the SC5-4xIP to which you are connecting is configured:
•
Always on
- This setting will ensure that the link is encrypted, regardless of
the SC5-4xIP encryption setting.
•
Let server choose
- This setting will follow the configuration of the SC5-
4xIP. If the SC5-4xIP has a preference to encrypt the link, then it will be so,
otherwise the link will not be encrypted.
•
Prefer off
- This setting will configure an un-encrypted link if the SC5-4xIP
will allow it, otherwise it will be encrypted.
•
Prefer on
- If the SC5-4xIP allows it, this setting will configure an encrypted
link, otherwise it will be un-encrypted.
Whenever encryption does take place, the viewer will first need to create the
necessary secure key before the connection process can continue.
