As illustrated, the required information is the server name (DNS name or IP address), the
protocol (currently the only option is TCP), and the port (default is set to port 5900).
VNC servers normally require a password for authentication. This password can be
entered in the dialog box. If no password is entered, but the VNC server requires one, a
dialog box will appear to collect the password:
Once connected, the remote display of the computer running the VNC server appears in
a standard Master Connection window.
The Connection window for a VNC server has the following limitations:
 Only the Remote Control service is supported at this time. Menu options and icons for
other services such as File Transfer, Remote Printing, Remote Management and Chat
are disabled.
 Shortcut commands (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-Del) are not applicable
 Other configuration options are not applicable
[Gateway-Managed Connections to VNC Server]
Note: Gateway-managed connections to VNC servers is expected to be supported in an
upcoming release.
The Gateway server will be able to support connections to one or more VNC servers, and
will be able to present those Hosts on the Gateway Hosts tab.
In addition to remote viewing and input control, the Gateway-managed connections to
VNC server are expected to be able to support screen recording and screen sharing
among multiple connected Masters.
Command Line Support for VNC Hosts
Connections to VNC servers can be invoked from the Master command line utility using
the following option:
• “/v” indicates that the specified Host is a VNC server. This switch can be used in
conjunction with the /p (protocol), /s (station specifier), and /x (password) switches to fully
specify a VNC server to connect to. See "Command line options" for more detail.
