Connecting to the Server computer from Kaspersky Security Center

You can remotely connect to the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks Server computer from the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console. The Virtual Network Computing (VNC) remote desktop access system is used to make the connection.

To connect, you must install and configure the following VNC components:

• VNC server. It is installed on the computer that performs functions of the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks Server. When configuring the VNC server, you need to set a password for the VNC connection. If a firewall is enabled on the computer, you also need to open the ports for the VNC and SSH protocols.
• VNC client. It is installed on the computer that has the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console.

To gain access to the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks Server computer from Kaspersky Security Center:

1. Open the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console.
2. In the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console tree, in the Managed devices folder, select the administration group containing the computer on which the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks Server is installed.
3. In the workspace on the Devices tab, select the computer hosting the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks Server, and select External tools → VNC in the context menu of the computer.

   By default, the VNC tool is absent from the list of external tools. To add the tool, in the context menu of the computer, select External tools → Configure external tools. In the External tools window, click the Add button and specify the following values of settings:

   • In the Tool name field, enter any name for the tool (for example, VNC).
   • In the Executable file name field, enter the full path to the executable file of the VNC client (for example, C:\Program Files\TightVNC\tvnviewer.exe).
   • In the Working directory field, enter the full path to the working folder of the VNC client (for example, C:\Program Files\TightVNC\).
   • In the Command line field, enter the following value: <A>:<P>.
   • Select the Create tunnel for TCP port specified below check box and enter the number of the VNC port on the VNC server (for example, if the VNC server uses screen :3, enter the VNC port number 5903).
4. After the external VNC tool is started, a password prompt window appears. Enter the password for the VNC connection.

The opened window displays the desktop of the computer on which the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks Server is installed.
