Help - I'm lost!

I can get as far as #3 and can get IP address, port and pairing code

But I don't understand #4 - Pair and connect
Where are the adb pair and adb connect commands entered - on the phone 
(if so where?) or on the PC (if so where). My PC doesn't seem to 
understand the command 'adb' when entered at a command prompt!
