Connecting to the iPEPS
The iPEPS offers you two ways to connect:
• Local connection (Dual Access models only),
• Remote connection by network link,
...and two types of viewer:
• VNC viewer,
• Standard web browser.
Local connection (dual access models only)
The keyboard, video monitor and mouse connected directly to the iPEPS dual
access offer password protected access to the host computer.
To make a local connection:
1 Using the keyboard connected directly to the iPEPS dual access, press any
key to exit the screensaver and display the logon prompt.
2 Enter your username and password. Providing you have the correct
permissions, the screen will display the currently selected host computer.
To view the local control menu
1 Press and hold the hotkeys (usually and ), then press and finally
release all three keys.
Note: The and keys when pressed in combination are called
‘hotkeys’ and they signal to the iPEPS that you wish to control it, rather than
the host computer. However, if these particular hotkeys clash with another
device or program, then your administrator may change them to a different
combination. If the combination fails to work, then please
contact the system administrator for details.
The local control menu contains numerous options, the most useful of which
are:
• Access mode - Allows you to select a ‘Private’ mode in order to prevent
other logged on users from viewing your actions on the host computer. Use
and to change between modes.
Note: For the courtesy of other users, this mode should be used sparingly.
The admin user has the ability to overrule the private setting.
• Return to host - Quits the control menu and displays the host computer
screen.
