Establishing the Viewer Connection
To use the Win32 viewer for connection, run
the viewer program, entering the access IP
address and port number for the switch in the
login window (as shown at right with the
default IP address). NOTE: You can enter the
access IP address without specifying the port
number (as shown), but only when the port
number is defaulted to 5900. (You can also enter the full default address: 192.168.1.200:5900.)
If the port setting on the switch has been changed, the IP address needs to reect this by
specifying the port number at the end. To connect to port 5910 on the server, for example, enter
192.168.1.200:5910. (Refer to Main/LAN TCP/IP – Port and IP Settings for details.)
When prompted for a password or private path phrase, enter the username and password
previously established. The default username/password = superuser/superu; the default global
password (if using the Global Password policy setting) = 123456; the default private path phrase
(if using the Level 3 security setting) = clientpwd. Once these entries have been made, a viewer
connection will be established.
NOTE: If you are using a dial-up modem and experiencing slow keyboard/mouse movement
and response, it could be due to your using the default LAN encoding scheme or even the No
Compression scheme, which requires much more packet quantity in transmitting a video frame.
Or, there could be a network bottleneck somewhere between the switch and your client desktop.
Cursor Settings/Synchronization
Normally, you will see both the local cursor and
the remote cursor in the view area. You can
specify the shape of the local cursor as seen
within the view window: as a dot, an arrow or
none (not showing any local cursor within the
viewer area). If the two cursors become out of
sync, simply press the mouse synchronization
hotkey sequence (right Control, right Control, Home) to re-synchronize them.
NOTE: While operating your mouse, it is not necessary to wait till the remote cursor has actually
caught up with the local one before you can click on the target in the view area: You can click
the target just using the local cursor well before your remote cursor catches up with the target.
Saving Connection Settings
Once you have optimized your viewer connection, you might want
to save the selected connection options. This way, the next time
you log in with the viewer, that specic client computer will use the
stored connection parameters as well as the password (but not the
private path phrase, which is not saved since it is used by a
secured/PKI-authenticated connection) for connection with the
switch. To save connection options, click the KLE icon on the
viewer title bar to display the viewer’s Quick Menu and select
“Save connection options.”
