Accessing the VNC Interface

There are three ways to communicate with the Server Remote Control in order to control the managed computers:

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

Native VNC client: There are several third-party software programs that use the standard VNC protocol, available in open source and commercial VNC clients.

SSH access: By default, there is a standard SSH server running on port 22 (the standard SSH port). Once connected via SSH, the VNC traffic is tunneled through the SSH connection and encrypts the VNC session. Each method will be discussed briefly in the following section. The type of encryption method or client used is not critical.

NOTE: The first time the Server Remote Control is accessed, it defaults to the PC 1 port on the master switch as the default managed client to display. If there is no computer/slave KVM connected to that port, you will see a blank screen until you switch to a port with an active managed computer. For future sessions, the unit will default to the last port accessed when beginning a VNC session, assuming the unit has not been upgraded or reset.

Web Interface

The Java-based VNC client that is integrated into the unit’s interface requires a browser with cookies and JavaScript enabled. To start the Java VNC client, login to the Web configuration
