Operation

Using the viewer window

Once connected to the Digital iPEPS via the VNC Viewer (please see
to Digital iPEPS for details), the viewer window gives you the ability to view
and control the Digital iPEPS and its host computer(s). Its operation is almost
identical regardless of whether you used the VNC viewer or your Java viewer to
display it.

The menu bar

The viewer window presents a menu bar similar to that shown below. Certain
items within the toolbar are displayed depending upon your access permissions
and/or the Digital iPEPS configuration.

When using the viewer window

What is the best screen resolution to use?
The best resolution for your computer is one that is larger than the screen of the host
computer that you are viewing. This will allow you to see everything without scrolling
around. Alternatively, the VNC viewer can be set to scale the image to fit your screen,
but remember that some pixel dithering effect will be seen when scaling is used.
How do I navigate around a larger screen?
If the screen that you are viewing has a larger resolution than your viewing
window you will need to scroll around to see all items. The viewer window
allows you to 'bump scroll' (only in full screen mode). This means that when
your mouse cursor bumps against the edge of the screen, the screen image will
scroll across automatically.
How do I escape from full screen mode?
Press the F8 button. This button is changeable but is most often set to F8.
How do I make the most of a slow connection?
The VNC viewer is slightly better suited to slower connections than the browser
viewer because it offers more options. Click the
viewer when entering the Digital iPEPS address during log on.
Rate limit mouse events
When selected, this mode greatly reduces the mouse movement data that are
sent to the host computer. When you move the local mouse, the remote cursor
