Integrated Qualification System 105
6 Accessing your IQS-600
Remotely
You can access your unit remotely from a computer using either the
Remote Desktop Connection or TightVNC Client applications.
This could be particularly useful if you do not intend to perform automation
tasks on your platform. If you want to perform automation tasks on your
platform and modules, see Using IQS Products in an Automated Test
Environment on page 171.
The table below presents the differences between the Remote Desktop
Connection and TightVNC Client applications.
Characteristic
Remote Desktop
Connection
TightVNC Client
Connection type 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 of the
accounts with
administrator and
supervisor rights can use
Remote Desktop
Connection. If you want
the operators to be able
to use Remote Desktop,
you must specifically
grant them access rights.
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.
