8.8 Remote Screen Sharing
The screen of the Smart Pendant can be shared via the network to a PC.
This may be useful for allowing multiple people to simultaneously view the
screen for demonstration or educational purposes, for example by
displaying it on a large screen. The sharing uses the standard VNC
(Virtual Network Computing) desktop sharing protocol, for which many
viewer applications for many operating systems are available.
The Remote Screen Sharing settings are shown below:
Fig. 8-6: Remote Screen Sharing
Remote connections to view the Smart Pendant screen will require a
password before being able to view the screen, for security. You must
create a password to use for that purpose. It is good practice not to use
the same password as used for security access. To enter a screen share
password, ensure the pendant is in the Management security access
level.
To start sharing the Smart Pendant screen, tap the switch into the {On}
position. The remote viewing application you choose to use will require
the IP address and port number, as displayed. The IP address will match
that of the YRC Controller Ethernet port, which must be connected to the
same LAN as your PC viewer (LAN2 for YRC1000 Controller or LAN for
the YRC1000micro Controller).
When a remote viewer application attempts to connect, a prompt will
appear on the Smart Pendant to allow the remote viewer. This ensures
that the screen cannot be remotely viewed without the knowledge of the
Smart Pendant operator.
A popular viewer application for PC is the “VNC© Viewer for Google
Chrome” by Real Networks. This allows use of the Google Chrome web
browser to view the pendant screen, and is available from the Google
Chrome Web store.
The Remote Screen Sharing is stopped when the Smart Pendant is
restarted and is not automatically restarted on startup.
