Accessing the Server
Once you have ensured you have a browser that supports the Vicon Access Control software, accessing
the Vicon Access Control software is very simple. If you are accessing the server from the PC it has
been installed on, a start menu link is provided, otherwise you will need to enter the address manually
into your web browser.
Accessing Vicon Access Control From the PC the Server Software is Installed on:
During installation a shortcut is placed in your start menu for Vicon Access Control. The link for
Vicon Access Control can be located by clicking Start -> All Programs -> Vicon Access Control and
finally clicking on
"Launch Vicon Access Control"
Windows 8/8.1 Users
Windows 8/8.1 hides the shortcut by default within the Metro UI start screen. The shortcut can be
located by typing
'Launch'
within the start screen and selecting
'Launch Vicon Access Control'
.
If you wish, you can pin this shortcut permanently to your start screen by right clicking and
selecting
'Pin To Start.'
Accessing Vicon Access Control From a Remote PC:
Open your web browser and within the address bar enter the address of the Vicon Access Control
Server using the format:
https://NameOfTheComputer:11001
Alternatively, you can use the IP address of the server if the server is using a static IP address using
the format:
https://192.168.1.100:11001
