Setting Up Remote Access Connection
You can access the NGC instrument from your home, your desk, or anywhere else
as long as you have access to the IP address of the NGC instrument. Remote
access gives you full control of the NGC instrument via ChromLab Touch software
as if you were physically present.
Remote access requires the use of a VNC viewer, which employs VNC technology,
an open standard. A variety of VNC viewers are available free on the web. You can
download a VNC viewer for the kind of device you want to use—for example,
another computer, a tablet, or a smartphone—to access the NGC instrument
remotely. Install the viewer before attempting to gain remote access.
Note: Accessing the NGC instrument when you are away from your work site
might require the use of VPN.
To access the NGC system remotely
1. In ChromLab, select the System Control tab.
2. Click Tools > System Settings to open the System Settings dialog box.
3. In the Remote Access tab select Enable VNC service for remote screen sharing.
This setting persists until you change it.
