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.
(Following sections are intended for maintainers only, user level
documentation is above)
Installation Details
The server is installed as a Win-95 Service following the VNC documentation.
