10 ACCESSING VIEWPOINT REMOTELY

Because the ViewPoint Interface is Web browser-based, any
user on the SonicWALL's LAN may login and look at
ViewPoint network reports. Even users located across a VPN
or accessing network resources through applications such
as pcAnywhere should be able to contact the ViewPoint
Web Interface.

To access ViewPoint, the remote user should launch a Web
browser, then type http://<ViewPoint Server IP Address> into
the Location or Address field of the Web browser.

Note: If the ViewPoint Web Interface uses a different port
than port 80, add the port number after the IP address, for
example, type http://<IP Address>:8080.

Note: Internet Explorer 4.0 or greater or Netscape Naviga-
tor 4.0 or greater should be used to login and manage
ViewPoint. The Web browser must also be enabled for Java
and cookies and support Java applets.

1. Type the ViewPoint User Name and Password.

2. Click the Login button to login to the Web Interface.

The remote user will be able to view network reports and
perform management functions.
