VNC Viewer Setup and Operation
VNC Viewer software must be installed on the shadowing computer.
• VNC Viewer is included as a component of the Rapport Administrative Software suite.
• If another machine is to be used to access your terminal, the VNC Viewer software for
Unix/Linux and Win32 (Windows 95 and Windows NT) is available at no charge and
can be downloaded for installation on the remote machine from:
Complete instructions for setting up and using VNC are available at the VNC site.
The user of the shadowing computer must know the IP address/name and the password
set up on your terminal (the host). The shadowing computer operator may log on to your
terminal as follows:
1. Start the VNC Viewer program; this will open the Connection Details dialog box.
2. If the network is slow, press the Options... button to open the Connection Options
dialog box. Check the Restrict Pixels to 8-bit box (this will increase speed at the
expense of display quality). Press OK to return to the Connection Details dialog box.
3. In the VNC server field, type the IP address or valid DNS name of the host terminal,
followed by a colon and 0. For example:
snoopy:0
or
132.237.16.238:0
4. Press OK.
5. This will open the VNC Authentication dialog box. Type the password of the host
terminal (see above) and press OK.
6. The host terminal desktop will be displayed in a separate window on your desktop. Use
your mouse and keyboard to operate the remote terminal just as you would if you were
operating it locally.
