Unit configuration
This page provides access to a selection of both basic and advanced settings for
the SC5-4xIP. 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.
Menu Bar Toggle Hot Key
Determines the function key that can be used to display/hide the menu bar
within the VNC screen.
Encryption
Three options are available: Always on, prefer off, prefer on. The one to choose
depends on the specific details of your installation - see
Encryption settings
for
details. The use of encryption imposes a slight performance overhead of roughly
10% but is highly secure against third party intrusion.
Number of simultaneous VNC Users
Allows you to restrict the number of concurrent VNC sessions. The maximum
number (and the default setting) 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 located
at port 2.
