•  Some Unix versions of the VNC client have integrated SSH tunneling support. Some 

clients require your local user id to be the same as the userid on the system.

Use a command like this: vncviewer -bgr233 -tunnel 10.0.0.34:22

One of the unique features of this product is the VNC menu system. Whenever you see 

a window with a dark blue background and grey edges, this window has been inserted 

into the VNC data stream so that it is effectively laid over the existing video. These 

menus allow you to control the many features of the CABCONS1716I without using the 

web interface or a custom client.
When you initially connect to the system, a Welcome Window will appear, indicating 

which system you are controlling, what encryption algorithm was used and what key 

strength is currently in effect. Click anywhere inside the window to clear it, or wait  

ten seconds.

Along the bottom of the VNC screen is a dark blue bar with various buttons known 

as the bribar.  Its purpose is to show a number of critical status values and to provide 

shortcuts to commonly used features. Here is a snapshot of what it may look like. There 

will be slight differences based on optional features and system configuration. Starting 

from the left side of the Bribar, each of the features and their respective functions are 

outlined below.
PS/2: This area will show either PS/2 (as in this example) or USB to indicate if keyboard 

and mouse are being emulated via USB connection or PS/2 signals. If Autosync appears 

beneath this indicator, the mouse pointers on the local mouse and the VNC session will 

be synchronized automatically.
