computer.
• If the destination computer has a firewall through MICROSOFT WINDOWS, the communication must be open
for Ports 9000 and 9100.
[2] If the site has a firewall, create exceptions for communications on Port 9000 and Port 9100 to the IP Address
of the destination computer.
[3] If the destination computer has a firewall through MICROSOFT WINDOWS, open the communication through
Ports 9000 and 9100.
[4] Advance to Connecting to the Destination Computer on Page 72.

Determining the IP Address of the Destination Computer as Used by the Modem

 Setting up Remote Access

Using the UltraVNC Software

• When the viewer is running, you have control over the destination computer.
• There is a slight delay between issuing commands and receiving a response from the destination computer.
• If a program does not start immediately after you click an icon, do not continue to click the icon.
• Sending key combinations, such as Ctrl-Alt-Del, is accomplished by clicking the Send Ctrl-Alt-Del button at the
top of the Viewer window.
• A connection made through a modem:
– Is slower than a connection made through a network connection.
– Displays images at a lower resolution by default. Increasing the resolution of the display will make the
connection too slow to use.
• If you need to check the image quality of an image over a modem connection, it is recommended that the image
be saved to the destination computer, and then transferred to the TSC using the File Transfer option of the
Viewer software.
