BCM 3.x VNC access 6

[aragon]

Anyone figured out how to access VNC on BCM 3.x?

 

[subx]

do u ask for the pasword or just the way to VNC-login screen?

 

[aragon]

Complete procedure.

 

[Giljo]

Start WIN VNC service manually

Use VNCPWD112.exe (freeware) to change the password to anything (TeirGR8 if you want)

Command line

VNCPWD /v:TeirGR8 /h:IPaddr /u:workgroup\ee_admin /p:eedge

How do you start the VNC service on a 3.6? I thought that there was no VNC access except by Nortel techs.

To start the VNC service
Login to unified manager
Diagnostics=>Service Manager=>winvnc is the last listed service, start the service in unified manager and use the freeware in giljo's post.

Tried this out on our inhouse demo the other day. works great! Thanks Giljo! Some interesting stuff on the desktop that may prove useful for troubleshooting.

Also in order to use my new password I had to stop and restart the winvnc service.

Great stuff Giljo! I too had to had to stop and restart the winvnc service. I tried this on a 200 ver.3.0 and now I will be trying it on an Enterprise Edge 1000 that has been upgraded to 3.6. This is the type of great tech stuff you can only get here.

Glad it works for you fellas

Follow up: Works on 3.5 and 3.6. The syntax can be confusing.

Hi.

Im new to this board and just wanted to say there is some great info on this site!

When trying to execute the VNCPWD I get an error:

> VNCPWD /v:xxxx /h:10.0.0.3 /u:workgroup\ee_admin /p:eedge

> ERROR: Can't connect to remote host specified

I can ping the server fine. Any ideas?

BCM 200 - 3.6

 

[NARSBARS]

Try starting, stopping, and restarting the VNC service.

Vncpwd(space)/v:xxxxxx(space)/h:ipaddress(space)/u:workgroup
(no space)\ee_admin(space/p:eedge

I had problems with the syntax and found that if you waited for the vnc service and retried several time it always works. Make sure that you use the correct password complexity: Example: TeiGR7
Good luck.

Giljo,

Where do I get this freeware"vncpwd112.exe"??? I 'm having a problem with a modem not working on a 3.6 hardrive thats in a BCM 1000. I believe it needs a new driver. The modem is an original modem that belonged in a BCM 1000 , however the hard drive is a fresh 3.6 hard drive for a BCM 400. Everything seems to work great except for the modem. I think the drive has the driver for whatever type of modem that appears in a BCM 400. Do you think I'll be able to possibly remedy this modem issue through the VNC access?? Is the freeware something I have to download from somewhere else?? Or is it on the BCM now ?? I tried a "Google" search for it with 2 hits in I think a foreign(I could not read it) website with the mention of the verbage , but no chance to download.. Can you direct me to where I can find it?? THank you in advance for all your help and your previous posts on the subject matter. HelplessBCM

If you are not on maintenance and you are either brave or foolish you can put a floppy, a cd drive, and more on a BCM in order to try whatever you like.

Ok I have the file VNCPWD112.exe (FreeWare) How do I get it onto the BCM.?

I have enabled VNC in services.

Do I use maintance Command Line on BCM to enter VNC?


Thanks for all your help.

 

[NARSBARS]

You must be on a PC on the same IP range and subnet as your BCM. You do not need to load anything on the BCM.
I hope the command line below helps.

I run it from a command line.

The spaces are vital in the syntax.

Start the vnc service on the BCM.
I will represent spaces with underscores.

C:\vncpwd_/v:new password_/h:ipaddress_/ u:workgroup\ee_admin_/p:BCMpassword


Workgroup in the above line is exactly as written unless the BCM has been joined to a workgroup with a different name.

I gave you a star.

Ok I got in and changed the password. Is there a list of commands for using VNC?

Thanks

The VNC allows you to reach the NT desktop by appending a colon 5800 to the BCMs IP address. I have looked but I haven't changed anything because any system worth accessing is worth not breaking.
Hope this helps.
If you find any good "toys" let me know. I guess I will need to learn Linux now with the 50 coming out.
Thanks for the star.
