Specs
1. If you plan to use a 10/100/1G Admin Port, connect the unit to the router with a physical 10/100
(Ethernet) cable.
2. Set up a Wi-Fi Admin Port or a 10/100/1G Admin Port on the unit, as applicable (see Admin Port on
page 4-6).
NOTE: Remote control over a Wi-Fi Admin Port will not allow access to functions within the Wi-Fi
menu (F2).
3. Note the IP address that was assigned and then initiate the VNC session on the client device (see
Initiating a VNC connection on the client on page 1-36).
Local remote control (via ad hoc Wi-Fi) setup
NOTE: This feature is available as a purchasable option. For more information, see Licensed feature
details on page 1-40.
This setup is intended to allow local remote control over a direct connection to the unit. For example, it
might be used by a technician who needs to physically connect the unit at some point on a residential
network, then control the unit from elsewhere in the residence. Because the devices connect directly, it
may be more convenient than using the residential LAN to establish connectivity.
This setup uses an “ad hoc” Wi-Fi network to connect the unit and the VNC client device. The unit
establishes itself as the network source and the client device then joins that network. For this method to
work, the client device must support the capability to join an ad-hoc Wi-Fi network. Consider the following
