RealVNC Server
RealVNC (Virtual Network Computing) is a software program that allows you to connect to another
computer on a network and control it remotely. Compared to the Windows terminal service which has a
similar function, RealVNC allows only one administrator to connect to the server at a time. That is, if
another is connected to the server as an administrator, the previous administrator connection will be
disconnected.
In RealVNC, the server and the viewer communicate via the VNC protocol. You must install a RealVNC
server on the computer you wish to control remotely, and a VNC viewer on the computer which
remotely controls the computer where the RealVNC server is installed. Hence, the RealVNC server
program is installed on a XPe client.
By using this program, you do not have to move directly to the client site to resolve its problems.
Instead, you can connect to the client from the server and solve problems remotely. For this reason,
RealVNC is being used very usefully.
Only administrators can configure the RealVNC server properties. To display the configuration dialog
box for RealVNC, double-click the RealVNC icon in the system tray. From this dialog box, you can run
a VNC server and configure a password and various properties. The default password is set to
‘Administrator’. Note that it is case-sensitive.
