We recommend using Web Image Monitor in the same network.
If the machine is firewall-protected, it cannot be accessed from computers outside the firewall.
When using the machine under DHCP, the IP address may be automatically changed by the DHCP server settings. Enable DDNS setting on the machine, and then connect using the machine's host name. Alternatively, set a static IP address to the DHCP server.
If the HTTP port is disabled, connection to the machine using the machine's URL cannot be established. SSL setting must be enabled on this machine. For details, consult your network administrator.
When using the SSL encryption protocol, enter "https://(machine's IP address or host name)/".
Internet Explorer must be installed on your computer. Use the most recent available version. We recommend Internet Explorer 6.0 or later.
When you are using Firefox, fonts and colors may be different, or tables may be out of shape.
When using a host name under Windows Server 2003/2003 R2/2008, or Windows Vista with IPv6 protocol, perform host name resolution using an external DNS server. The host file cannot be used.
To use JAWS 7.0 under Web Image Monitor, you must be running Windows OS and Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 SP2, or a later version.
