28 Installing and Using the Axel-VNCviewer

4.1 - OPENING A SESSION

The default keystroke used to open a session is

(where <Fx> is a

function key from <F1> to <F4>).

When the VNC authentication is enabled (see Chapter 6.1) the VNC password

must be entered. If the VNC authentication fails the VNC session is

disconnected.

On successful authentication, the Axel-VNCviewer displays a graphical login

screen or a previously opened session depending which type of disconnection

was previously performed

4.2 - DISCONNECTING

Three cases of disconnection can be distinguished:

4.2.1 - Log out

Note

: only for SCO, UNIXWARE 7 and Linux with gdm.

When the user selects ‘Exit session’ from the X desktop menu, the VNC

connection is automatically closed. To get a new login screen, the user must

open again a VNC connection (pressing <Alt><Fx>).



: if you need a new login screen to be displayed automatically, set 'auto

reconnection' to 'yes' in the AX3000 Set-Up.

4.2.2 - Voluntary Disconnection

The user closes the VNC session at the AX3000 level by pressing

<Ctrl><Alt><Shift><D>. At Unix level, the VNC session is not closed, the next

time the Platine connects, the existing/current X screen will be displayed.
