StarTech.com SV1654DX4I, SV3254DX4I Bribar Feature, Vncviewer -tunnel Using the VNC Menu

Page 37

you want to tunnel two or more systems, you will need to use a unique number for each instance on the same SSH client machine.

•Some Unix versions of the VNC client have integrated SSH tunneling support. Some clients require your local user id to be the same as the userid on the system. Use a command like this:

vncviewer -tunnel 10.0.0.34:22

Using the VNC Menu

One of the unique features of this product is the VNC menu system. Whenever you see a window with a dark blue background and grey edges, this window has been inserted into the VNC data stream so that it is effectively laid over the existing video. These menus allow you to control the many features of the SVxx54DX4I without using the web interface or a custom client. When you initially connect to the system, a Welcome Window will appear, indicating which system you are controlling, what encryption algorithm was used and what key strength is currently in effect. Click anywhere inside the window to clear it, or wait ten seconds.

Bribar Feature

Along the bottom of the VNC screen is a dark blue bar with various buttons known as the bribar. Its purpose is to show a number of critical status values and to provide shortcuts to commonly used features. Each feature and its function is outlined below:

Kbd: This area will show either PS/2 (as in this example) or USB to indicate if keyboard and mouse are being emulated via USB connection or PS/2 signals. If Autosync appears beneath this indicator, the mouse pointers on the local mouse and the VNC session will be synchronized automatically.

Bandwidth: Indicates current average bandwidth coming out of the Enterprise Class KVM unit. The second number measures round trip time (RTT) of the connection when it was first established.
