• 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
Using the VNC Menu
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.
Bribar Feature
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.
