5. By right-clicking a network station from the list, you can execute the following actions via
a pop-up menu:
– "VNC": Connecting directly to the VNC server and, if applicable, operating the HMI.
– "VNC → Auto reconnect": Corresponds to the option "Automatic reconnect if the server
closes the connection" in order to restore the connection to the selected network
station.
– Ping: Opens a command shell and executes the "ping" command to the selected
network station.
Note
Operation via a VNC viewer:
A system can only be monitored from another station via an external VNC viewer
(default).
To view the system from another station, this function must be enabled by the system.
You can find the settings for this in the "System Network Center" or directly in tcu.ini in
the [VNCViewer] section.
Should you wish to access a PCU 50.3 via the company network using the VNC
scanner or VNC viewer, port 5900 must be added on the PCU 50.3 under "Control
Panel" → "Windows Firewall" → "Exceptions".
