VNC is an acronym which stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is software which allows graphical desktop connections. On the AS/400, a PC can connect to an XWindows session using VNC.

VNC refers to:

  • the server software
  • the server process which accepts the incoming connection
  • the client viewer software

where:

  • systemname is the host name or IP address of the iSeries system where VNC is running
  • n is the numeric value that represents the display number that you want to start[3]
