To establish the VNC connection, first configure the VNC Viewer, entering the VNC Server IP
address.
A.
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 (in
Section 6.2.6) e.g.
:1234
B.
When the Viewer PC is connected directly 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 will use. The
TCP port will be 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). For a Windows Viewer PC using UltraVNC connecting to a VNC Server attached to Port 1 on a
console server
, it is located at 192.168.0.1
To establish the VNC connection, simply activate the VNC Viewer software on the Viewer PC and
enter the password.
