VNC Server Configuration
The VNC Server tab in the Network Server Configuration dialog box configures
settings used by a client device to view or control the terminal over a VNC
connection. The VNC service supports two concurrent client connections.
The terminal provides two VNC client viewers:
• Vncviewer.exe can be deployed to a personal computer for connecting,
viewing, and controlling the VNC server on the terminal. This viewer is in
the \Windows folder.
• Another VNC viewer is available on the terminal to establish a VNC
connection between two PanelView Plus 6 terminals. To access this client,
choose Start>Programs>VNC Viewer.
TIP Always click OK to apply new settings. You are asked if you want to restart the
service immediately.
