Connect to 963 Server

It is possible to connect to the 963 Server from anywhere, providing a TCP/IP connection can be made to the 963 Server.

The 963 server can operate in one of two modes, graphic, or text depending on the browser or device being used as the client. For PCs 963 Clients may be of any configuration providing they are running TCP/IP networking protocol, and have an Ethernet card, and have a web browser installed. For full graphics capabilities (graphic mode) Microsoft Internet Explorer or Firefox and the Java runtime environment are required. Other browsers will provide a text only display (text mode). PDAs running Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition or greater, the Nokia 9210i and smartphones running Window Mobile 5 or greater are only able to access the server in text mode.

Note that 963 has not been tested with all devices and Trend cannot guarantee a particular device’s compatibility with 963 server.

There are differences between the two modes

To connect to the 963 Server:

  1. Run the web browser.

  2. Enter the URL of the 963 server. If the 963 has been set up to use a TCP/IP port other than port 80 specify the port number separated with a colon e.g. https:// 963:6000. It is recommended to use the name of the server (host name) in place of the IP in the url.

This will be the IP address or name of the personal computer running 963 Server. The 963 Server’s default page is displayed.

You must check the terms and conditions override check box to log in.

Tip: The engineer may have created a short cut that carries out steps (1) and (2). Simply click that.

Note that a different page may be displayed this is because the engineer has engineered it that way.

  1. When you enter a valid user name and password a page of information should be displayed. If there is a problem connecting to the 963, an error message will be displayed.

Note that you may get an error message while logging on to 963 client.

This happens for Internet Explorer 8 or lower versions. Upgrade Internet Explorer version on all the machines that may access 963 through web browser for a quick work around. For more information, refer to the 963 Release Notes (TP201015).
