Launching The VNC Or RDP Viewer

Network Access Software supports a user-defined Virtual Network Computing (VNC) and Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) viewer. To launch either the VNC or RDP viewer, select the Server tab from the Network Access Software. Select a server from the units list, then click on either the VNC or RDP button at the bottom right of the screen.

Customizing Properties

The Properties window in the Network Access Software contains the following tabs: General, Network, Information and, if the selected unit is a network-enabled device, Connections. Use these tabs to view and change properties for the selected unit.

You may alter certain properties of individual KVM switches and servers using the Network Access Software. The Properties dialog box in the Network Access Software contains five tabs: General, Network, Information, Connections and Telnet.

General properties

General properties describe the unit and its location. You may specify a unit’s Name, Type (server only), Icon, Site, Department and Location. Network properties include the KVM switch’s address and, for digital KVM switches, the URL to be used when establishing a browser connection. When this field contains a value, the Browse button appears in the Network Access Software task bar.

For a server, network properties specify the URL to use when establishing a browser connection to the server. When this field contains a value, the Browse button appears in the Network Access Software task bar.
