 Chapter 5 How to Remotely Control the Host Computer(s)

A. Accessing the VNC Interface

There are three ways to communicate with the Digital KVM via IP in order to control the host

computer(s).

I. Web interface: The integrated Web server includes a Java-based VNC client. This allows easy

browser-based remote control.

II. Native VNC client: There are several third-party software programs that use the standard VNC

protocol, available in open source and commercial VNC clients.

III. SSH Tunnel: By default, there is a standard SSH server running on port 22 (the standard SSH

port). Once connected via SSH, the VNC traffic is tunneled through the SSH connection and

encrypts the VNC session. Each method will be discussed briefly in the following section. The type

of encryption method or client used is not critical.

I. Web Interface

The Java-based VNC client that is integrated into the Digital KVM via IP interface requires a browser

with cookies and JavaScript enabled. To start the Java VNC client, login to the Web configuration

interface and click on the thumbnail of the desktop on the Home menu, or follow one of the two links

on that page:

Java VNC with no encryption (faster).

Java VNC with SSL encryption (more secure).
