2. On the Start page, click Connect to an instance.
The Connect to Instance dialog opens.
3. From the Description tab of AWS window, copy the Public DNS entry to the Clipboard.

44223 is the management port set up for the Vector AMI. The AMI Marketplace listing comes with a default security group that allows inbound traffic on this port. If you used this security group, there should be no connectivity issues.
