Panelview VNC Viewer

Has anyone ever tried using a VNC Viewer on there panel view to view a different panel view? Wondering if I can get a VNC compatible with windows CE to mimic another panel view.

Yes, this is possible. If you have a tech connect contract, you can view the instructions here:

If not, please say something and I or another member can fill you in on the steps. I'd do it now but it's 5pm and I have to pick up my daughter from daycare!

Thanks as always Logan

I would love to know this too . No contracts with RA

Yes it is possible. For this to work you need to make sure Desktop Access is set to Allow on both terminals. Refer to PanelView Plus 6 and PanelView Plus 7: Enabling Desktop Access.
1.Go to My Device and navigate to \Windows\Programs
2.Copy the VNC Viewer shortcut.
3.Paste it on your Desktop.
4.Right-click on the new shortcut and go to Properties
5.Click on the Shortcut tab.
6.Enter the <IP address> of the terminal you are trying to connect to.
7.Click OK.

That Should answer it

Thanks!

Has anyone tried using the ProgramLaunccher ActiveX to start the VNC Viewer from within PV project?

Looks like TightVNC. So you can view the PV from a desktop PC too, right?

That would work but not in our situation.

Hi All, I am trying to run VNC on my PVP CE. This is not a 6 or a 7. It is just PVP CE.

Logic Module: CAT 2711p-rp6

When i open my Control Panel\Remove Programs, i can only see 2 available applications. FTView ME and FTViewpoint. No VNC.

From watching this video,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8_GAzgqeyU&t=190s

This PVP has VNC installed. This is confirmed because it has a "Server Config" and "Services" options available in the Control Panel.

The panelview used in this video is :
Screen: 2711p-rdt12c
logic module: 2711p-rp8d

This information confirms that both the video creator and myself am using a PVP from the same family; Just PVP, not 6, not 7.

I have updated my firmware to the latest available firmware; V5.10.16.

Still no VNC.

I have downloaded a VNC for ME from the web, transferred the installation file to the PVP, then attempted to install. No good. I do not think this is possible.

Can anyone please advise what i should do in order to get VNC into my PVP?

Thank you.

what is the part number, version, and when did you buy it?
SOME of the recent terminals do not have the VNC capability.
check with your distributor.
i know we had this issue, but do not know how to fix it.

Hey James, Thank you for your response.

I have been in communication with the youtube video creator showing the VNC application.

Initially i was under the impression our models of PVP were of the same range. Unfortunately they were not. The PVP range the creator was using, 2711p-rp8d is actually a PVP6. Whereas the model i have; 2711p-rp6, is a PVP only. Not the PVP6.

The creator also advised me, to the best of his knowlege, that users are not able to install programs into their PVP. I presume installation function is locked out.

At this stage, i am of the impression that if i want to use VNC, then i will need to upgrade my PVP module.

I believe I have done this exact process before. Follow this tech note to install the VNC server. There are downloads inside of the tech note.

Hi CJ. This looks like exactly what i am looking for. I do not have access to it at this stage, it requires a tech connect contract.

I will see what i can do to gain access to it.

I know some of the new panels put out do not have the VNC capability. A job I was just on I was able to use VNC on the MobileView but not on the PVP 7 because it was the wrong series. Maybe check that out too.
