• Get BITS to add your own computer's IP address to the list of approved VNC-accessing machines (old list in attached PDF, see BITS INC0078954 ). To add a computer to this list, ask BITS to add your IP address to 320c_lab_av_users group.
  • VNC Viewer 5.3.2 now installed on tableau-ts-beta. As of 20180808: VNC Viewer can connect fine to both the Sequencing hallway monitors and the Samples lab monitors.
• Run VNC viewer (or tight or Chicken). Software available for download here: VNC Viewer software (or TightVNC software or ChickenOfTheVNC software)
• BEFORE connecting to the monitor machine, disable keyboard and mouse input in VNC Options/Preferences > Inputs (so as to not disrupt the screensavers).
• Enter the IP address of the target VNC server computer (see table below).
  
  • Password is required on monitors with new VNC licenses (easy PW). (No PW required on monitors with old VNC licenses, but that should change when BITS corrects the licenses).
• This lets you see the monitor as it is.
• To actually change its settings, "enable mouse input" must be checked (this can be done once you're connected, by accessing the hidden toolbar in the top center of the screen).
• After making changes and disabling the mouse, the screensaver should just start after one minute (so you can check the screenshots)

Screenshots are created using scripts & batch files run on tableau.broadinstitute.org and stored in \\gp-reports\TABLEAU_Files\Screenshots\ in the subfolders listed below. Batch files run on the individual monitor computers (ex: C:\Local\Scripts) copy the images from the TABLEAU_Files location to C:\Local\Screenshots. Details in RPT-4515.
