Unit configuration
This page provides access to a selection of both basic and advanced settings for the ALIF
2112T. Many of the settings displayed here are also accessible through the on-screen
menu.
unit Name
The name entered here will be displayed on the local menus and the remote VNC
viewer/browser windows.
New Connections Private
Allows you to determine whether new local or VNC connections should be set up as
private (when ticked) or as shared (when unticked).
Menu Bar Toggle Hot Key
Determines the function key that can be used to display/hide the menu bar within the
VNC screen.
Encryption
Four options are available: Always On, Prefer Off, Prefer On, or Maximum. The one
to choose depends on the specific details of your installation. The use of encryption
imposes a slight performance overhead of roughly 10% but is highly secure against third
party intrusion. Maximum selects 256 bit encryption.
Number of simultaneous VNC Users
Allows you to restrict the number of concurrent VNC sessions. The maximum number is
16 and the default is 4.
VNC Viewer Hot Key Sequence
When using the VNC Viewer, you can use key press combinations to select host
computers and also to display the host selection menu. This option allows you to choose
which keys should be used to form the hotkeys that will precede a switching command.
The default setting is CTRL + ALT, so as an example when you press the CTRL ALT and
2 keys, the viewer will change to the host with “Hotkey Host Number” 2 - see
