Proceed to the Expert tab. Scroll down the list of settings until you find the
“PreferredEncoding” and
“Protocol3.3” options. Set the preferred encoding to Hextile and the Protocol 3.3 option to true. Verify that the
“Use these settings for all new connections” checkbox at the bottom of the window is checked and click the OK
button. This will set the selections to the default start settings for the VNC viewer.
11.1.3.2 Recommended VNC Viewer Settings for Tablets
The VNC clients for tablets have been found to offer limited flexibility for use with the MCT. Most clients have
default settings requiring security to be enabled on the server in order to connect. If you have trouble connecting
with a VNC viewer through an iPad, iPhone or even an Android based phone, start by enabling the security on
the MCT VNC server and be sure to enter those settings in the client viewer.
Color and encoding options can also affect the connectivity. If the client offers the option, leave color and
encoding options to
“automatically detect” or “server decides”. If the client is still unable to connect, try default
encoding of Hextile and set the color option to limited colors such as 256-bit color. Future Design Controls
does not write or create VNC clients (3rd party software), so final selection of client and testing is the end user
responsibility. The following settings are provided as an example for the Remotix client for the iPad. When
adding an MCT server to the Remotix client, use the following settings. Note that the VNC server in the MCT
must have security enabled in order for this client to connect.
