The IGEL UMS Console allows you to observe the desktop of a thin client on your local PC via shadowing with VNC. In order to enable shadowing, you must allow remote access in the security options for the thin client.

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
