To congure IP details from a global user location
1 Use either the VNC viewer or a standard web browser to make remote
contact with the MC5-IP – see Global user connections for more details.
2 If the username entry is not blanked out, enter ‘admin’. Then enter the
admin password (if no password is set, then just press ). Once logged
in, the MC5-IP will show the video output from the host system (if one is
connected), or otherwise a ‘No Signal’ message.

IP conguration by global user
Once the basic IP-related features have been congured using the MC5-IP
conguration 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 MC5-IP unit:
• The VNC viewer – a small application supplied on the CD-ROM or
downloadable from the RealVNC website or even downloadable from the
MC5-IP itself.
or
• A standard browser that supports Java – When a web browser makes
contact, the MC5-IP 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.
