Launch VNC

VNC is an open-source, cross-platform screen-sharing and control application. VNC (Virtual Network Computing) allows users to screen-share and control machines remotely across a wide variety of platforms including Mac OS, Windows and UNIX. In order to use LANsurveyor's integrated VNC features, the VNC client application must be installed on the computer running LANsurveyor, and the VNC server application must be installed on the remote computer you would like to control or observe.

To launch VNC from the LANsurveyor map, right-click on the map object or select Share Screen>Start VNC from the Tools menu.

VNC is included on the LANsurveyor CD. Please refer to the VNC website (www.realvnc.com) for more information about VNC, to download the latest client and server software, and to monitor for updates to this product.
