2.4 _ABOUT VNC AND ZERO-CONF NETWORKING
The Altitude
16
leverages two important networking technologies: VNC and zero-
configuration networking, which are explained below.
2.4.1 _ABOUT VNC (VIRTUAL NETWORK COMPUTING)
VNC is a graphical desktop sharing system that transmits keyboard and mouse events
from one computer (server) to another (client), relaying the graphical screen updates back
in the other direction, over a network.
The Altitude
16
has a built-in VNC Server that allows you to access its graphical user interface over a network from any
device running a VNC client.

Network Computing
2.4.2 _ABOUT ZERO-CONFIGURATION NETWORKING
Zero configuration networking (zeroconf) is a networking technology that makes it easy to
setup, use devices and services on a network. Because zeroconf-enabled devices indicate
their availability, it’s easy for you (or an app or service) to find devices that you want to use.
The Altitude

VNC Server is zeroconf-enabled in order to indicate its availability to the zeroconf-enabled VNC Client
running on your device (tablet or computer).
The two major implementations used in VNC client apps are:
• The Bonjour protocol, developed by Apple Inc. It is available in free VNC clients such as Mocha VNC Light (for iOS and
Android devices) and Chicken of the VNC (for Mac OS X).
• Avahi, for the Linux operating system.
Microsoft has its own proprietary protocol for remote computing: RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol). This explains why
there is no major implementation of the zeroconf technology on the Windows platform.
