Protected Setup - G4 Web Control Page
Select G4 Web Control on the Protected Setup Page (see FIG. 67 on page 64) to access the G4 Web Control Page (FIG. 70).
The options on the G4 Web Control page center around enabling and disabling both the display and control of your TPI, via the web
(FIG. 70). An external PC running a VNC client (installed during the initial communication to the G4 device) makes this possible.
Each G4 device supports the open standard Virtual Network Computing (VNC) interface containing a VNC server, which allows it to
accept a connection from any other device running a VNC client. Once a connection is established to that target device, the client
can control the TPI remotely.
The TPI supports up to four G4 Web Control users simultaneously connected to the TPI.
Refer to the Using G4 Web Control® section on page 136 for more detailed instructions on how to use the G4 Web Control page
with the web-based NetLinx Security application.
