Enable VNC access rights to an HMI device

Specify access rights by entering a password for view-only or full control access. Users gain access rights when remotely connecting to an HMI device.
To configure VNC access rights to an HMI device:
  1. Select
    Tools > Security Administration
    .
  2. Select the
    VNC
    tab.
  3. In the desired access area, enter and confirm a password to remotely connect to the HMI device. If assigning different access rights for users, enter separate passwords in each area. Each user enters the password that grants the specified remote access.
    • VNC View-Only Access.
      Grants read-only access to an HMI device.
    • VNC Full-Control Access.
      Grants full interaction with an HMI device.
      TIP:
      Tips:
      • Passwords must be between 6 and 8 characters in length.
      • The runtime application ignores any password characters beyond 8 characters entered.
      • A blank password disables access. For example, to enable Full-Control Access, leave the VNC View-Only Access password blank to disable, and then enter a password for Full-Control Access.
      • If passwords in the
        Password
        and
        Confirm
        boxes do not match, a red outline appears around the
        Confirm
        box and around the VNC tab.
      • Do not use the same password for View-Only and Full-Control access. If the same password is set for View-Only and Full-Control, View-Only access is assigned to all users remotely connecting to an HMI device.
  4. Select
    OK
    .
    TIP:
    To reset a password for an access type, select the
    Reset
    button next to the access type.
NOTE:
After rebooting the PanelView 5000 HMI device, the VNC server configuration automatically resets to the Disabled state.
