Bribar Feature

Instruction Manual

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.

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. Here is a snapshot of what it may look like. There will be slight differences based on optional features and system configuration. Starting from the left side of the Bribar, each feature and its function is outlined below.
