[VNC] provides a function for monitoring and controlling the system from anywhere. With an Ethernet connection, you may monitor and control the system with a PC, tablet, or smartphone.
Local Ethernet network
A local Ethernet network uses its own Ethernet network locally without using the Internet. This allows the PC, tablet, or smartphone to be connected to the Xpanel through a wireless router using the same network IP.
Public IP Ethernet network
If a public IP is assigned to the Xpanel, users can access Xpanel anywhere using the Internet via Wi-Fi, 3G, or LTE.

To use the VNC function, you must start the VNC server in the Xpanel. You can start or stop the server with the following steps.
Starting and Stopping the VNC Server
Starting and stopping the server in CIMON Canvas
Go to [Tools] > [Deployment Panel] and select the Xpanel(s) having VNC initiated by checking the box on the left-hand side.
After the user has chosen their Xpanel(s), click [Start VNC Server].
Click [Launch VNC Viewer] and the user can see the Xpanel screen(s) with the VNC viewer(s), as shown below.
To turn off the connection of VNC, click [Stop VNC Server] for the selected Xpanel in [Deployment Panel].

Starting and stopping the server in Xpanel
If the Settings dialog box is not already open, then touch the corners of the Xpanel screen in the sequence shown below: bottom-left -> bottom-right -> top-right. The Settings window will appear.
Select [Exit]. This will stop the Xpanel runtime and take you to the [CONTROL CENTER] window.
Navigate to the VNC by clicking [Settings] > [IP Config]. Set the user’s IP address(es) for the Xpanel device in either LAN 1 and/or LAN 2. After the user’s IP information is set, scroll to the bottom and click [Apply and Save]. If the subnet mask and/or gateway are different from those of the PC, then change them to match the PC.
You can start the remote control server by pressing the [Start VNC Server] button. If the ‘Autorun On Startup’ option has been selected, the server starts automatically when the Xpanel is turned on. You may stop the remote control server by pressing the [Stop VNC Server] button.

Mobile Network Configuration
Mobile configuration in Mocha VNC Lite application
Search for a mobile viewer named ‘Mocha VNC Lite’ and install the application on the smartphone.
Tap the ‘Configure’ menu in the start menu of the application.
Tap the‘ New…’ button to establish a new network configuration.
Input the parameters of the Xpanel IP, port, and password. Enter the hash sign (#) in the password field, which indicates the nonuse of passwords. Tap [Save] to save the settings.
Go back to the start menu and tap the ‘Connect’ button. You can connect to the Xpanel with the corresponding configuration.
Assigning a static IP address
When you wish to connect to the Xpanel via a 3G/LTE network, you must target a public IP address (append a port-forward to the public IP address for Xpanel’s with a local IP address). In the following example, you can connect to the VNC server with a static IP address or dynamic IP address. To use the VNC function in the mobile phone, a wireless network configuration is required. The following instruction explains the step for the mobile network through an IpTime device.
Input ‘192.168.0.1’ and click [Set up] to enter the settings window. Set remote Mgmt port by entering [Advanced Setup] -> [Firewall] -> [Mgmt Access List].
Check the [Remote Mgmt port #] box and set the number of the ‘Management port’.
The figure below is about how to set port forwarding to assign a socket port number in the IpTime. Go to [Advanced Setup] -> [NAT/Routing] -> [Port Forwarding] in the settings window.
Assign the static IP address and socket port number used in the Xpanel. The default socket port number used in the Xpanel is 5900.
Enter the static IP address and port number of the Xpanel at the configuration box in the application.
Assigning dynamic IP address
