Working With TightVNC

Working With TightVNC

The control of your unit with TightVNC requires the TightVNC Server
(already installed on your unit) and the TightVNC Client Viewer (that you
must install on your computer).

To be able to connect to the unit using TightVNC, you must:

Know the IP address of the unit and provide it in the connection
settings on the computer.

Know the password (same for all users by default).

This section provides you with the basic information to control your unit
with TightVNC. For more information, refer to the TightVNC online help.

Configuring the TightVNC Server

The TightVNC Server is already installed on your unit. By default, the server
is configured to accept secured connections only. This means that you
must configure a password before establishing a connection between a
computer and your unit.

However, you can modify the desired type of connection if you prefer not
to be prompted for a password. You can also modify other connection
settings to better suit your needs.
