When the Viewer PC is connected to the console server thru an SSH tunnel (over the public
Internet, or a dial-in connection, or private network connection), enter localhost (or 127.0.0.1)
as the IP VNC Server IP address; and the source port you entered when setting SSH tunneling
/port forwarding, e.g. :1234.
•
When the Viewer PC is connected to the console server (i.e. locally or remotely through a VPN
or dial-in connection); and the VNC Host computer is serially connected to the console server;
enter the IP address of the console server unit with the TCP port that the SDT tunnel uses. The
TCP port is 7900 plus the physical serial port number (i.e. 7901 to 7948, so all traffic directed
to port 79xx on the console server is tunneled thru to port 5900 on the PPP connection on
serial Port xx) e.g. for a Windows Viewer PC using UltraVNC connecting to a VNC Server
which is attached to Port 1 on a console server located 192.168.0.1
You can establish the VNC connection by activating the VNC Viewer software on the Viewer PC and
entering the password
