Local remote control (via a router/LAN) setup
This setup is intended to allow local remote control over a residential LAN or similar. For example, it
might be used by a technician who needs to connect the unit at some point on a residential network, then
control the unit from elsewhere in the residence.
With this setup, the unit connects to a switch or router device (such as a BHR) with either:
A Wi-Fi link, or
An Ethernet/Cat-5 cable
The VNC client device then connects to same network (often through the same router), typically over a
standard Wi-Fi link. Once both devices are fully networked at the IP level, the VNC client application can
initiate a remote control session. Consider the following diagram which represents a typical residential
configuration with a BHR:

This type of remote control allows access to nearly all test and management functions on the unit,
including module testing menus. To set it up:
