Chapter 4. AltusenVNC Operation

Installing AltusenVNC on Remote Computers
Install AltusenVNC on remote computers that you want to access from the
KE8220. AltusenVNC comes with an unlimited license, so you can install it on
as many remote computers as necessary.
During installation, choose whether to install AltusenVNC as a
service
or an
application.
If you install AltusenVNC as a service, it starts when Windows is
booted and continues to run in the background. It is a good idea to install
AltusenVNC as a service if the remote computer must be accessible whenever
the operating system is running. Also, when you install AltusenVNC as a
service, KE8220 users can use the
Ctrl-Alt-Delete
command on the remote
computer.
If you choose to install AltusenVNC as an application, you will need to
manually start it each time and KE8220 users will not be able to use the
Ctrl-
Alt-Delete
command on the remote computer. You should install AltusenVNC
as an application if you will use it only occasionally, such as on a laptop
computer to push video to the KE8220.
During installation, you will be asked to choose the language that AltusenVNC
will use to display user interface text once the installation is complete. If you
wish to change the display language, you must reinstall AltusenVNC.
You may need to open certain ports in your router, gateway, or firewall to
ensure that AltusenVNC can communicate properly with the KE8220. To see
which ports are used, see
Configuring a Router, Gateway, or Firewall
Note:
Installing AltusenVNC as a service may not be supported for some
Windows operating systems. Please check our Website to see if support
has been added to a newer version of AltusenVNC.
