General information and networking
4.3 Networking
• The computer to be monitored must be configured in the config.ini configuration file of the
TCU according to the general configuration for a TCU in a separate host section as a
switchover target for this TCU.
Where necessary, a password has to be specified in the configuration, if the VNC server
requires one on the target system (see below).
• To ensure that the TCU recognizes the new switchover target, the TCU requires a restart and
reboot.
• The screen resolution of the computer to be monitored must be adjusted to the conditions
of the TCU, since otherwise the TCU scales the image received to its possible range of
representation, which would adversely affect the representation on the TCU.
