Instruction Manual

• 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 userid 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 IP KVM without using the
web interface or a custom client.
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.
Bribar Feature
Along the bottom of the VNC screen is a dark blue bar with various buttons known
as the Bribar. Its purpose is to show a number of critical status values and to provide
shortcuts to commonly used features. Here is a snapshot of what it may look like. There
will be slight differences based on optional features and system configuration. Starting
from the left side of the Bribar, each feature and its function is outlined below.
• Bandwidth: Indicates current average bandwidth coming out of the Server Remote
Control unit. The second number measures round trip time (RTT) of the connection
when it was first established.
• Resync: Re-aligns the remote and local mouse points so they are on top of each
other.
• Redraw: Redraws the entire screen contents; occurs immediately.
• ч4, ч8: Switches to thumbnail mode, at indicated size (i.e. 1/4,1/8 )
• Ctrl-Alt-Del: Sends this key sequence to the host. Works immediately.
• Alt-F4: Sends the key sequence to host (closes windows).
