Using the VNC Menu

One of the unique features of this product is the VNC menu system. Whenever you see 

a window with a dark blue background and grey edges, this window has been inserted 

into the VNC data stream so that it is effectively laid over the existing video. These 

menus allow you to control the many features of the SV1115IPEXT without using the 

web interface or a custom client.

Welcome Window

When you initially connect to the system, a Welcome Window will appear, indicating which 

system you are controlling, what encryption algorithm was used and what key strength is 

currently in effect. Click anywhere inside the window to clear it, or wait ten seconds.
