5. A status box will indicate that a connection is being made. Once the connection has
been established the status box will disappear and the Personal Network Manager
screen will return but now the OIW selected will be shown in the box headed
“Connected devices”, as shown in the figure below. Note that for a short period of time
the connection status will show as in the figure below (left) i.e. with a small x next to
the left and right arrows. However, shortly it will change as shown in the figure below
(right) i.e. the small x will disappear and the arrows will enlarge slightly.

In some instances this step may have to be repeated as during the connection phase the
connection may not be established. If repeated attempts to connect fail (a) ensure you
are close to the OIW you are attempting to connect to; (b) ensure the OIW is correctly
configure for Bluetooth operation.
Figure 23. Connected Devices
5.2 Controlling the OIW-EX Series of Units

Press the F5 button on the front of the Wireless Controller. This will launch the VNC
program used to remotely view the OIW-EX unit; the opening screen of VNC can be
