Using VNC for the I.R. Camera computer

The I.R. Camera computer normally lives on the observing floor, and its keyboard and monitor are either not connected, or put away in the rack.  To easily access its functions, the VNC program is used.  (Look for documentation on VNC elsewhere on the web).
 

Introduction

The VNC system comprises 2 programs, a "server" which runs on the computer being viewed remotely, and a client or "viewer" which is run on the computer where the user views the remote computer.  In the case of this I.R. Camera system, the "server" program is always running, as it is installed automatically at boot time.  The viewer is started to actually view the computer screen remotely.  Since this may be done by any computer on the Internet, the session is password protected.
 

Viewer Operation

See the documentation in the User's Guide.

Installation Details

The server is installed as a Win-95 Service following the VNC documentation.
