Note
Operation via a VNC viewer:
A system can only be monitored from another station via an external VNC viewer
(default).
To view the system from another station, this function must be enabled by the system.
You can find the settings for this in the "System Network Center" or directly in tcu.ini in
the [VNCViewer] section.
Should you wish to access a PCU via the company network using the VNC scanner or
VNC viewer, port 5900 must be added to the PCU under "Control Panel" → "Windows
Firewall" → "Exceptions".
