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 -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 SVxx54DX4I 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. Each
feature and its function is outlined below:

Kbd: This area will show either PS/2 (as in this example) or USB to
indicate if keyboard and mouse are being emulated via USB connection
or PS/2 signals. If Autosync appears beneath this indicator, the mouse
pointers on the local mouse and the VNC session will be synchronized
automatically.
Bandwidth: Indicates current average bandwidth coming out of
the Enterprise Class KVM unit. The second number measures
round trip time (RTT) of the connection when it was first established.
