MaxTester Series
The control of your unit with TightVNC requires the VNC Server (already
installed on your unit) and the TightVNC Client Viewer (that you must
install on your computer).
The first time you start the VNC Server on your unit, you may want to define
a connection password for increased security. This is not mandatory; you
can also configure the VNC Server to allow connections without
authentication.
If you want VNC Server to start automatically when you turn on your unit,
see Selecting the Startup Application on page 59.
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.

As soon as you restart the unit (to change the display language, for
example), the VNC Server will be stopped and the remote
connection with the unit will be lost. You will need to restart the
VNC Server locally on the unit before being able to reconnect via
VNC.
