Instructions on how to access the controller's HMI panels using a VNC viewer.
Remote access of HMI panels
A Q.station or Q.monixx controller includes a built-in VNC server to access the integrated HMI. The HMI can be accessed via a VNC client or a standard web browser.
To use a VNC client, enter the controller's IP address and, when prompted, type the password “master”.
Alternatively, enter the controller’s IP address in the address bar of a web browser and type the password “master.” Ensure that the Java plugin is enabled in the browser and that the security level in the Java Control Panel is set to Medium.
Only a single VNC client connection can be active at a time.
