The Remote Desktop configuration software allows you to adjust the Remote Desktop connection to your requirements.

Possible settings:

Setting

Description

Enable Remote Desktop service

Activates the Remote Desktop service. If the service is deactivated, it is completely deregistered and no longer available. You can only reactivate it with this configuration software.

Enable built-in HTTP Server

Activates the built-in HTTP Server. The displayed start page is fixed and cannot be changed.

Attention: If you have deactivated the HTTP Server, you can still reach the login page via a browser refresh.
The page will then be routed from the normal HTTP port (5600) to the Remote Desktop port (5610). This way you can still login and have full access. To avoid access, change the password or block the Remote Desktop port (5610). 

Primary password

When establishing a connection, you have to enter this password to get full access to the Desktop. The standard password after the first installation is SCADA-ALL. You can change the password at any time, without the need to know the old password.

The size of the password is limited to 8 characters.
If you wish, you can still enter the standard password as SCADA-ALL.

We recommend to change the standard password to avoid unauthorised access.

If you don not enter a password, a warning message will be displayed as soon as you click outside the field.

View-only password

When establishing a connection, you have to enter this password to get view-only access to the Desktop. The standard password after the first installation is SCADA. You can change the password at any time, without the need to know the old password.

The size of the password is limited to 8 characters.

We recommend to change the standard password to avoid unauthorised access.

If you don not enter a password, a warning message will be displayed as soon as you click outside the field.

Log information to zenVNC.log

The Remote Desktop service writes analysis information to the file zenVNC.log . The file is located in the User Temp directory.

Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Temp
Windows Vista: C:\Users\Start\AppData\Local\Temp

You can only see these folders if you have activated the option show hidden files and folders in the folder properties of the Windows Explorer.

Log detailed debugging information

The Remote Desktop writes detailed error and debugging information to the file zenVNC.log. This option is only required for comprehensive error analysis.

Block remote input events

If you do not want full access from the outside, even if the primary password is known, you can set this option. Operating access from remote PCs are blocked. Only view-only access is possible.

Block remote input on local activity

If there is local activity on the computer (with keyboard or mouse), it cannot be operated from a remote PC. Remote operation is enabled again after the configured time.

Enable file transfers

Enables the file transfer from and to the remote PC. If this option is deactivated, the option File Transfer in the viewing software is also deactivated.

attention Attention

If you do not change the passwords, everbody will be able to access your PC!!

Empty passwords are possible but not recommended. Empty passwords allow full access to your PC for everybody.

info Info

All changes are applied only after pressing OK. This always leads to a restart of the Remote Desktop service. Connected computers are disconnected.
