Enterprise Edition of Rapport contact Wyse Sales or Service (see "Ordering Information"
on page iii).
Virtual Network Computing (VNC) Viewer
VNC Server is factory-installed on your thin client and is, by default, automatically
launched on log-on. It allows a thin client to be operated/monitored (shadowed) from a
remote machine on which VNC Viewer is installed (primarily for troubleshooting and
support purposes). The administrator uses a VNC Server dialog box that allows a
password to be changed and properties to be set for a thin client. An administrator wanting
to shadow a thin client must run the VNC Viewer component on the remote machine
(accessed either from the Rapport Administrative Software or from a separate installation).
The administrator using the VNC Viewer must know the password to the server
component on a machine as well as a machine IP address or valid DNS name. For
information about VNC, refer to "WinVNC" on page 60.
