Connecting to Your Unit with TightVNC
Once the TightVNC Viewer is installed on your computer, you are ready to
access your unit remotely.
To connect to your unit with TightVNC:
1. Connect both the computer and your unit to the same network and
make sure they can “see” each other as network restrictions might
prevent them from communicating.
If you want to use an Ethernet network, connect an RJ-45
(network) cable to the unit’s RJ-45 port located on its left side.
If you want to use a wireless network, see Connecting to a Wireless
Network on page 140.
You can also create a Private Area Network with your Bluetooth
device (see Transferring Data via Bluetooth on page 132).
2. Turn on both the computer and the unit.
3. On your unit, in Toolbox, go to Main Menu. Select System
Information > Platform.
4. Write down the IP address, and then close the window.
Note: It may take a few seconds before you see the IP address on the list.
