Figure 17. VNC Viewer Connection Details screen
Enter the IP address of the UL2-DVI the VNC Viewer is to connect to in the Server field. The VNC Viewer
retains the IP addresses it has connected to, and they can be selected by clicking on the dropdown of Server
field.
The Encryption dropdown displays options for the use of encryption in the connection. Encryption makes the
data transfer between the VNC Viewer and the unit more secure, but slows down the transfer, as every packet
must encrypted. On average, encryption adds an overhead of 10%. The Encryption dropdown lets the user
specify whether the VNC Viewer or the UL2-DVI will determine when encryption will be used. The options are
Let VNC Server Choose, Always On, Prefer On and Prefer Off. Other than when Always On is selected, the
unit’s setting will determine whether encryption is used. Newer versions of the VNC Viewer will also have
Always Maximum. This setting forces a very high level of encryption.
Prior to clicking the “Connect” button, the connection to be made can be optimized as desired by clicking the
“Options” button. This brings up the “VNC Viewer Properties” screen.

used settings in these four tabs are compressed into one single tab when the Basic button is clicked. These
tabs are described in greater detail below.
Use these settings for all new connections:
This option applies to all the tabs in the VNC Viewer Properties dialog. Checking this box will apply all the
settings from these tabs to the current connection and all future connections. If the setting is not checked, any
changes made in the tabs will apply only to the current connection.
