Instruction Manual

• PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) must be used; no other authentication methods are

supported.

• TCP/IP must be installed/enabled on the computer making the connection, and

must be used for the dial-up connection.

• The connection must be configured to obtain a dynamic IP address.
• The user name/password must match a user currently configured on

the CABCONS1716I.

• For best performance and to simplify the troubleshooting process, firewall software

should not be used with the dial-up connection.

Accessing the Web Interface

Once a dial-up connection has been established, you can access the Web interface or

start a VNC session using the following IP address:
https://99.99.99.99
You can now login to the Web interface (and/or VNC session) normally. Note that the

remote machine (the one you dialed from) is automatically assigned the IP address

99.99.99.100 for the PPP session. This, and the IP address of the CABCONS1716I, cannot

be modified. The following TCP/IP port numbers are assigned for a PPP connection,

regardless of the settings configured in the Web interface for the LAN or WAN ports:
HTTPS: 443
VNC (clear-text): 5900
VNC (SSL secured): 15900
SSH: 22
