6. How to Remotely Control
the Host Computer(s)
6.1 Accessing the VNC Interface
There are three ways to communicate with the ServSwitch to control the host
computer(s):
1. Web interface: The integrated Web server includes a Java based VNC client.
This allows easy browser-based remote control.
2. Native VNC client: There are several third-party software programs that use
the standard VNC protocol, available in open source and commercial VNC
clients.
3. SSH Tunnel: By default, there is a standard SSH server running on Port 22
(the standard SSH port). Once connected via SSH, the VNC traffic is
tunneled through the SSH connection and encrypts the VNC session. Each
method is discussed briefly in the following section. The type of encryption
method or client used is not critical.

The Java based VNC client that is integrated into the ServSwitch requires a browser

enabled. To start the Java VNC client, log in to the
Web configuration interface and click on the thumbnail of the desktop on the
Home screen, or follow one of the two links on that page. See Figure 6-1.
