The moisture.IQ allows two methods of remote access and control:
• An embedded Web Server allows access to the moisture.IQ status and files using a standard web
browser.
• A Virtual Network Computing (VNC) server allows full remote control of the moisture.IQ using any of
several VNC clients.
Note: Both the Web Server and the VNC Server are disabled by default.
Access to the web server requires a user name and password. The moisture.IQ provides two accounts for
configuration and general administration. Up to three additional accounts can be created for use as needed.
Each account has a set of permissions that can be configured to limit network access to moisture.IQ features.
The two pre-defined accounts are:
• Admin
• Operator
