Remote Control - TightVNC
Installing TightVNC Software for the Desktop: Installing TightVNC is very easy, just insert the CD-ROM
that came with your AirStation product and install the software. The on-screen menus will guide you through
the setup process.
Non-Windows Platforms: TightVNC utilizes the open-source VNC standard, thus any VNC software will
work with the AirStation. Currently only TightVNC and Windows are supported but customers can install
other open-source VNC applications for Macintosh, Linux, and other systems. If the server runs on port
5800 then the ‘VNC Remote’ icon will appear on the Network Service List.
Additionally, there are VNC comptible clients for all systems including PalmOS and PocketPC. Thus, with
PPTP VPN connection software, a handheld user (PalmOS and PocketPC) could theoretically connect in
and control their home or offi ce PC’s from their handheld; assuming the handheld has some sort of internet
connection. Buffalo Technology (USA) Inc. does not support users in making VNC work in anything but
Windows.
TightVNC is the recommended Remote Control Software. This icon will appear on any
computer on the Network Service List that is running the VNC software. This icon provides a
one-click process to obtaining access to the PC.
