VNC Viewer Setup and Operation
VNC Viewer software is included as a component of the Rapport Administrative Software
suite and must be installed on the remote (shadowing) machine. The administrator/user of
the remote machine must know the IP address/name and the password of a Thin Client
(the desktop that is to be operated/monitored).
If another machine is to be used to access your Thin Client, the VNC Viewer software for
Unix/Linux and Win32 (Windows 95 and Windows NT) is available at no charge and can
be downloaded for installation on the remote machine from:
http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/
.
Note
Detailed information on setting up and using VNC is available at the VNC
Web site.
The administrator/user of the remote (shadowing) machine can log-on to a Thin Client by
completing the following procedures:
1. Double-click the VNC Viewer icon to open the Connection Details dialog box (see
Figure 33).
