Shared Connection
With RealVNC, two people can connect to the same GCEMS and both can have
monitor/configure access. This gives the support personnel the ability to configure a system
while the customer watches on their PC. To be able to accomplish this both users must enable
this option on the VNC Viewer application. To allow another person to connect and view the
same Xwindow, you must enable the Shared Connection option. See Below.
1. Open VNC Viewer application
2. Select the Options button
3. Select the Misc tab.
4. Enable the Shared Connection (do not disconnect other viewers) option.
5. Save the new configuration so when the VNC Viewer is opened it will always opewith the
Shared connection enabled
