9 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.
