The VNC Interface

There are three ways to communicate with the SVxx53DXI unit in order to control the host computer:

•Web interface: The integrated Web server includes a Java-based VNC client. This allows easy browser-based remote control.

•Cleartext VNC: There are several third-party software programs that use the standard VNC protocol, available in open source and commercial VNC clients. By pointing any VNC client at the default VNC port (5900) on SVxx53DXI, you will be able to control the attached systems. This method offers a fast and direct way to access the system and allows the use of “native” VNC clients and other remote management packages which implement the VNC protocol.

•SSH access: By default, there is a standard SSH server running on port 22 (the standard SSH port). Once connected via SSH, VNC traffic may be tunneled to port 5900 on localhost (ie. 127.0.0.1:5900) of the SVXX53DXI.

•Any VNC client may be used to access most features. Encryption does not affect VNC operation, aside from a slight reduction in speed.
