HEIDENHAIN recommends using the VNC connection if a program requiring
graphics acceleration (e.g. programs to play movies) is installed on the external
computer. RDP does not support this.
With VNC, the screen of the external computer is mirrored directly. The active
desktop on the external computer is not locked automatically.
With a VNC connection it is also possible to completely shut down the external
computer via the Windows menu. As the computer cannot be rebooted over
a connection, it must actually be switched off and on again.
With the VNC connection, the screen resolution is not adjusted automatically
during mirroring. If the resolutions of the external computer and the control
desktop do not match, this can have the effect, for example, that a scrollbar
appears on the screen. HEIDENHAIN therefore recommends activating the
full-screen mode.

computer. In the recommended
configuration of the IPC 6341, it is the IP

Password: The default password for connection to the
VNC server is "123". Please change this
password on the IPC and TNC during
commissioning.
