2.5.1 About VNC
VNC (Virtual Network Computing) is a technology that allows the graphical interface of one computer
(such as the display screen of the unit) to be rendered on another networked computer, where it can be
operated as if it were the original. In the case of the Tech-X Flex, VNC control means that the screen can
be displayed on a client PC or mobile device, where:
• On a PC, the unit accepts mouse clicks and keyboard entries on the VNC screen as if they were
physical touches on the touchscreen and keypad entries, respectively.
• On a mobile device, the device touchscreen assumes identical functionality to the unit touchscreen,
with respect to taps and other physical interactions.
In all cases, when the screen is manipulated on the PC or mobile device, the actual screen on the unit
responds and changes as if it were being used directly.
Many users may find important uses for VNC remote control, such as:
• A technician who needs to physically connect the unit at some place, then work at other locations
while running tests.
• A technician or manager at a remote location (perhaps a support center) who needs to see and/or
operate a unit currently in use at a subscriber site.
• Any person who might need to render the interface on another computer for training, reporting, and/or
screen capture activities.
In all cases, the PC or mobile device to be used for remote control must have a VNC client (viewer)
application installed. For more information:
• On installing a VNC viewer, see Installing a VNC client (viewer) on page 2-34.
• On VNC as a general technology, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Network_Computing.
2.5.2 Installing a VNC client (viewer)
From the factory, the unit firmware includes a display driver that is ready to serve the screen to a VNC
client running on another computer. Therefore, the preliminary requirement to VNC control is the
installation of that client. The following table provides some recommendations for clients tested by
Spirent:

VNC control has been tested with the following versions of RealVNC viewer:
• 4.1.3 - See RealVNC 4.1.3 installation and setup on page 2-35
• 5.0.5 - See RealVNC 5.0.5 installation and setup on page 2-35
