Chapter 6

Before a remote machine (on which VNC Viewer is installed) can access a thin client:

•

The IP address (or valid DNS name) of the thin client that is to be operated/monitored 
must be known by the remote administrator/user. This IP address can be obtained from 
the Details area (Local Area Connection) of the Network Connections dialog box 
(accessed by clicking Start | Control Panel | Network Connections, clicking the 
Local Area Connection icon and scrolling down to the Details area in the left pane).

To obtain the IP address of an administrator thin client, hover the mouse 
arrow over the VNC icon in the system tray of the Administrator taskbar.

•

A password for an administrator to use must be entered into the WinVNC: Current 
User Properties dialog box.

VNC Viewer software is included as a component of WDM software and must be installed 
on the remote (shadowing) machine. An administrator/user of the remote machine must 
know the IP address/name and the password of a the thin client that is to be operated/
monitored.

If a UNIX, Linux, Solaris, or HP-UX machine is to be used to remotely access your thin 
client, the appropriate VNC Viewer software must be obtained and installed on the remote 
machine. For information on VNC software, refer to the VNC Web site at:

 

An administrator/user of the remote (shadowing) machine can log-on to a thin client by 
completing the following:

1. Double-click the VNC Viewer icon to open the Connection Details dialog box. 

2. (Optional) You can configure advanced VNC connection options using the 

Connection Options dialog box. For example, if the network is slow, click Options to 
open the Connection Options dialog box, select the Restrict Pixels to 8-bit check box 
in the Display area (reduces color depth for better transmission speed), and then click 
OK to return to the Connection Details dialog box.
