Placing AdderView CATx IP alongside the firewall
AdderView.CATx.IP.is.built.from.the.ground-up.to.be.secure..It.employs.a.
sophisticated.128bit.public/private.key.system.that.has.been.rigorously.analysed.
and.found.to.be.highly.secure.(a.security.white.paper.is.available.upon.request.
from.Adder.Technology.Ltd)..Therefore,.you.can.position.the.AdderView.CATx.
IP.alongside.the.firewall.and.control.hosts.that.are.also.IP.connected.within.the.
local.network.
IMPORTANT: If you make the AdderView CATx IP accessible from the public 
Internet or from a modem, care should be taken to ensure that the maximum 
security available is activated. You are strongly advised to enable encryption and 
use a strong password. Security may be further improved by restricting client 
IP addresses, using a non-standard port number for access or limiting remote 
access to dial up connections only.
..
Ensuring sufficient security
The.security.capabilities.offered.by.the.AdderView.CATx.IP.are.only.truly.effective.
when.they.are.correctly.used..An.open.or.weak.password.or.unencrypted.link.
can.cause.security.loopholes.and.opportunities.for.potential.intruders..For.
network.links.in.general.and.direct.Internet.connections.in.particular,.you.should.
carefully.consider.and.implement.the.following:
•. Ensure.that.encryption.is.enabled...
By.
.or.by.
•. Ensure.that.you.have.selected.secure.passwords.with.at.least.8.characters.
and.a.mixture.of.upper.and.lower.case.and.numeric.characters..
By.
..
•. Reserve.the.admin.password.for.administration.use.only.and.use.a.non-
admin.user.profile.for.day-to-day.access...
•. Use.the.latest.Secure.VNC.viewer.(this.has.more.in-built.security.than.is.
available.with.the.Java.viewer)..To.
•. Use.non-standard.
..
•. Restrict.the.range.of.IP.addresses.that.are.allowed.to.access.the.AdderView.
CATx.IP.to.only.those.that.you.will.need.to.use..To.
.
•. Do.NOT.Force.VNC.protocol.3.3..
.
•. Add.a.further.level.of.inherent.security.by.restricting.access.only.via.modem.
or.ISDN.dialup.
•. Ensure.that.the.computer.accessing.the.AdderView.CATx.IP.is.clean.of.
viruses.and.spyware.and.has.up-to-date.firewall.and.anti-virus.software.
loaded.that.is.appropriately.configured..
•. Avoid.accessing.the.AdderView.CATx.IP.from.public.computers.
Security.can.be.further.improved.by.using.the.following.suggestions:
•. Place.the.AdderView.CATx.IP.behind.a.firewall.and.use.the.port.numbers.to.
route.the.VNC.network.traffic.to.an.internal.IP.address.
•. Review.the.activity.log.from.time.to.time.to.check.for.unauthorised.use..
•. Lock.your.server.consoles.after.they.have.been.used...
A.security.white.paper.that.gives.further.details.is.available.upon.request.from.
Adder.Technology.Limited..
Ports 
In.this.configuration.there.should.be.no.constraints.on.the.port.numbers.
because.the.AdderView.CATx.IP.will.probably.be.the.only.device.at.that.IP.
address..Therefore,.maintain.the.HTTP.port.as.80.and.the.VNC.port.as.5900.
Addressing
When.the.AdderView.CATx.IP.is.situated.alongside.the.firewall,.it.will.require.a.
public.static.IP.address.(i.e..one.provided.by.your.Internet.service.provider).
