Accessing Your Unit Remotely

You can access your unit remotely from a computer using either the
Remote Desktop Connection or TightVNC Client applications.

The table below presents the differences between the two applications.

Characteristic

Remote Desktop

Connection

TightVNC Client

Type of connection

Direct between the unit and

the computer; only one user

can be connected to the unit

at a time.

Not exclusive; several users

can be connected to the unit

at the same time (sharing the

same session).

Windows user rights

Taken into account.

Not taken into account.

Password-protected

Yes; mandatory. The user

name and password are the

same as those used to

connect to the unit.
By default, all the accounts

with administrator rights can

use Remote Desktop

Connection. If you want

accounts with limited rights to

be able to use Remote

Desktop as well, you must

specifically grant them access.

Yes; mandatory. The

password is defined on the

TightVNC Server, the first

time you start the server. This

password is not related to the

one used to connect to the

unit. By default, all people

that use TightVNC Client will

enter the same password (as

defined on the server).
Each user to whom you

provide the password will be

able to connect to the unit via

TightVNC.
