Power Panel FT50 User's manual V1.19
Server
Default setting: EMPTY (no server entered or selected)
In order to use the Power Panel as a VNC client, a hostname or IP address for the VNC server must be specified.
It is possible here to enter multiple servers in a list. Entering the hostname or IP address and then clicking on the
[+] icon adds the specified server in the list at the end of this services page (see "vncserver1" and "vncserver2"
in the previous image).
To use a specific VNC server from this list, it must be selected in the server list (via touch screen or mouse click).
The currently selected VNC server is displayed in input field
Server
.
By default, port 5900 is used to establish a connection.
If the VNC-based HMI application is available on a different port, the port number must be specified explicitly
together with the IP address or hostname:
