Starting VNC
To start the VNC server on a Vista T series or I series console:
- Restart the console. When the red Boot Menu screen appears press any key to stop at this window. Then use keyboard arrow keys to select a startup option. Select ‘VNC’ to start VNC normally or select ‘VNC 1024×768’ to start VNC and set the screen resolution to 1024×768 pixels.
- Vista will automatically start the VNC server.
- Vista is now running the VNC server.
Connecting to Vista using a Windows PC
The following procedure is for the VNC Viewer application from Real VNC (http://www.realvnc.com/download.html). Other VNC clients for windows work in a similar way:
- Check that the Vista and your PC are on the same subnet. I.E. if the Vista’s IP is 192.168.0.68, your PC should be 192.168.0.xxx (where xxx is 1-254 but not 68).
- Start the VNC client.
- In the ‘Connections Details’ window click the Options button, then the Misc tab:
- Tick the box marked ‘Shared Connection (do not disconnect other viewers)’. Click OK to close the options window.
- In the ‘Connections Details’ window enter the Vista IP (i.e. 192.168.0.65).
- Click OK to open the login window.
- Enter your password and click OK (leave the username blank).
You should now be able to control the Vista.
