Limitations for Special Characters
Some special characters might not be transmitted through the VNC connection. The processing of special characters depends on the following factors:
-
Keyboard layout configured on the VNC client and on the VNC server
-
VNC viewer in use: An external viewer and the internal viewer behave differently.
-
Firmware version of the endpoint device
-
UMS user interface: The UMS Console and the UMS Web App have different VNC viewers.
To launch a VNC session, proceed as follows:
-
In the context menu, click Shadowing.
A connection dialog will appear. -
Enter the password if you have set one in the security options.
If you have a user account, you can connect to the UMS Server and launch the IGEL VNC Viewer separately. The IGEL applications folder in the Windows Start Menu contains a link to it.
-
Enter a host name or the IP address manually on the first tab.
-
On the second tab, select a device from the structure tree.
