  1. INTRODUCTION

	This document describes the use of the SSH_VNC Client Utility.
	Please refer to our website http://www.digi.com/support/ or
	http://www.digi.com/support/eservice/eservicelogin.jsp
	for further questions.

	The tool is used for starting plink and your VNC Viewer from
	the Digi CM.
	
  2. Tested VNC applications
  
  	The following is a listed of VNC viewers to have been tested
  	with this application. A VNC viewer not on this list does not
  	mean it will not work, just that it hasn't been officially tested
  	by Digi yet.
  	
  	UltraVNC http://www.ultravnc.com (preferred)
  	TightVNC http://www.tightvnc.com
  	RealVNC  http://www.realvnc.com
  	
  	Additionally plink can be found here:

  3. Using the ssh_vnc client

	On the Digi CM, under Virtual KVM configuration, in the Client
	program path enter "ssh_vnc <ip>" or "ssh_vnc <ip>:<port>". You
	may also specify a longer sleep time between when plink is started
	and when VNC tries to connect to plink by adding the time in milliseconds
	after the destination IP, i.e. "ssh_vnc <ip> <sleep_time>". The default
	wait time is 3000 milliseconds. Your system should have both plink and
	vncviewer added to your PATH. From a command line to add a path, type
	"path %PATH%;<path>", for example: "C:>path %PATH%;C:\VNC\". Additionally
	your VNC client application should be named "vncviewer.exe".
	
  4. How it works
  
  	The application takes in the destination ssh service's IP and
  	optionally, port number, to connect to. It then starts up plink with
  	a random local port number and directs your VNC viewer to make a
  	connection to that port. Once connected, your VNC viewer will be
  	tunneled through the SSH tunnel to the remote machine providing you
  	with a secure VNC connection.
