VNC Viewer

The embedded system is running a VNC server, so if needed you can access the system through a VNC viewer running on your laptop or desktop. By default, the VNC server is setup with no authentication requirements, so you can access it without a password. You can optionally reconfigure the VNC server to use password authentication, after you install a VNC viewer on your local system.

To install a VNC viewer, follow these steps:

1. Download a VNC viewer installation program
2. Run the downloaded installer and you'll get the VNC Setup wizard
3. Click Next
4. Click on “I accept the agreement” then Next
5. Accept the default folder and click Next
6. Select the full installation and click Next
7. Accept the default Start Menu folder and click Next
8. Under “Additional Icons”, you can choose to have a desktop icon and/or a quick launch icon created. Picking one or the other of these will make it easier to run later.
9. Under “VNC Server”, be sure to uncheck both options. (Neither option should be checked here.)
10. Click Next
11. Click Install
12. Click Next
13. Click Finish

After you have installed the VNC viewer, you can connect to the embedded system from your local system by following these steps:

1. Apply power to the interferometer
2. Boot your local system
3. Make sure both systems are connected to your network
4. Run the VNC Viewer (from your destkop icon, or quick launch icon, or Start Menu)
5. Enter the server name (“Anneth1” by default) and click OK
6. Enter the password if required
7. You should now be connected
