Table 1. VNC Viewer Connect Parameter Options

Options

Description

AutoConnect={yes, no}

Default is no.

It starts the connection automatically at sign-on, if AutoConnect is set to yes.

Colors ={True_Color, 0, 1, 2, 16, 24}

Default is True_Color

Specifies how many colors to display. True_Color specifies full color, 0 specifies 8 colors, 1 specifies 64 colors, and 2 specifies 256 colors.

For backward compatibility, 16 and 24 values are also accepted. In these cases, 16 is mapped to 1 (that is 64 colors) and 24 is mapped to 2 (that is 256 colors).

Compression=<integer{1 to 6}>

Default is 2

Sets compression level to the specified value, where 0 = Low and 6 = High.

Description=< String>

Default is none.

Connection name. Provides a connection name for the Desktop icon and the Connection Manager.

FullScreen={ yes, no}

Default is no.

VNC session will run at full screen, if FullScreen is set to yes.

Host= <host address>[;<host

address>...]

Default is none

Specifies a host or lists of host values. The thin client attempts to connect to the next server on the list if the current one fails. The list items must be separated by semicolons or commas.

  • NOTE: This parameter is mandatory.

Icon=<image file>

Specifies an icon to appear on the local desktop or Connection Manager. The file must be located in the server wlx2/bitmap directory. If not specified, the default icon is displayed except in the case of a published application. A PNG, JPEG or GIF may be used. XPM is permitted for backward compatibility.

JpegQuality=<integer{0 - 9}>

Default is 8

JPEG Quality levels are,

0 = Low and 9 = High.

LocalCopy= {yes, no}

Default is no.

LocalCopy saves the connection in the local permanent registry, if LocalCopy parameter is set to yes.

Password=<base-64 encoded password>

Specifies the password required to log in to the VNC server. Either a base-64 encoded login password or a variable can be used.

password — base-64 encoded login password

$SN — Serial number

$MAC — MAC address

$IP — IP Address

$DN — Sign-on domain name

$UN — Sign-on name

$PW — Sign-on password

$TN — Terminal name

  • NOTE:
The VNC server password is not encrypted; not specifying it is recommended. The user is prompted to enter the password when the connection is made. This VNC server password directive never starts a line, so it can be distinguished from the thin client user sign-on password which starts a line.

Shared= {yes, no}

Default is no

When a connection is shared, other viewers are not disconnected when a new connection is established.

ViewOnly= {yes, no}

Default is no.

VNC connection will be created in view only mode when this parameter is set to Yes, which means mouse and keyboard input to the remote machine will be disabled.
