set vncclient

Purpose

Configures or displays remote-access settings for a ConnectPort Display. ConnectPort Display can provide remote access to a computer on the network or Internet using the VNC (Virtual Network Computing) protocol.

VNC server software must be installed on the remote computer. A VNC server is provided on ConnectPort Display Software and Documentation CD.

Interaction with the remote computer is possible using a keyboard and mouse connected to the USB ports on your ConnectPort Display.

Syntax

Configure remote-access settings

set vncclient [state={on|off}]
  [server=vnc server ipaddr|dns name]
  [port=vnc server network port]
  [password=vnc server password]
  [reconnect=0-2000000 seconds]
  [shared={on|off}]
  [localcursor={on|off}]
  [keepalive={on|off}]

Display current remote-access settings

set vncclient

Options

state={on|off}

Enables or disables the connection to a remote computer’s VNC server.

server={vnc server ipaddr|dns name}

The VNC server’s IP address or DNS name.

port=vnc server network port

The network port number to connect to on the VNC server. The default port number for VNC servers is 5900.

password=vnc server password

The password for logging on to the VNC server.

reconnect=0-2000000 seconds

The maximum amount of time to wait before attempting to reconnect to the VNC server if the connection cannot be established or lost.

shared={on|off}

Specifies whether the VNC server desktop can be shared with other clients. If shared=on, other VNC clients can connect to the VNC server while your ConnectPort Display is connected.

localcursor={on|off}

Enables or disables local mouse cursor handling. Tracking the mouse cursor locally can improve mouse performance, especially with a slow VNC server or slow network.

keepalive={on|off}

Indicates whether TCP keep-alives will be sent while connected to the VNC server. Keep-alives help to detect when a connection has been lost. TCP keep-alive parameters (such as how often to send them) are configured globally.

Example

#> set vncclient state=on server=10.20.1.107 port=5900 password=dnf10 
reconnect=10 shared=on localcursor=on
