connection will be terminated.
The port number “15900” is arbitrary in the above example and can

be any number (1025...65535). It is the port number used on your
client machine to connect your local SSH instance with the VNC
client. If you want to tunnel two or more systems, you will need to
use a unique number for each instance on the same SSH client
machine.
Some Unix versions of the VNC client have integrated SSH tunneling

support. Some clients require your local user ID to be the same as
the user ID on the system.

Use a command like this: vncviewer -bgr233 -tunnel 10.0.0.34:22

Using the VNC Menu

One of the unique features of this product is the VNC menu system.
Whenever you see a window with a dark blue background and grey
edges, this window has been inserted into the VNC data stream so that
it is effectively laid over the existing video. These menus allow you to
control the many features of the SV1115IPEXT without using the web
interface or a custom client.
Welcome Window

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.
