24 Accessing Remote Desktop using VNC on Dell PowerEdge Servers and MX7000 Modular Infrastructure
5.2 Connecting using bVNC
Prior to connection, the VNC server must be configured as specified in Configuring VNC by using the iDRAC
GUI. To configure and establish a connection by using bVNC:
1. Start bVNC from the Android apps list or desktop.
2. In the Connection Type box:
a. If using VNC over SSH to connect to a 14G server, select Secure VNC over SSH.
b. If SSL Encryption is enabled in the iDRAC VNC Server settings, select Secure VNC over SSL
Tunnel.
c. Else, to connect without encryption, select Basic VNC.
3. If necessary, enter a connection name in the Title box. If blank, a name will be generated based on
the host address and port number.
4. In the VNC Server box, type the iDRAC IP address or hostname. If using VNC over SSH, replace the
default value of localhost, and also type the iDRAC IP address in the SSH Server box.
5. In the Port box, type the VNC Port Number from the iDRAC VNC Server settings.
Note—The default iDRAC VNC Port Number is 5901. Most VNC applications, including bVNC, display 5900 as
the default port number, and it must be changed.
6. Configure your credentials:
a. If using VNC over SSH, type an authorized iDRAC username and password in the respective
SSH Username and SSH Password boxes.
b. In the VNC Password box, type the same password as entered in the iDRAC VNC Server
settings. If using VNC over SSH, this can be left blank.
