Beta 3.0.0 - Tue Nov 4 05:28:28 GMTST 2003
Welcome to the J2ME VNC Quick Start Manual. This document will lead you though a typical J2ME VNC experience. Highlighting the common errors made, and how to avoid them.
As well as this static page, a user-editable Wiki version has been set up. Should you wish to read user-coments and improvemnts on this QuickStart Manual, please check the Wiki version.
This document makes the following assumptions, 1) you know what VNC and J2ME are. 2) You can start a VNC server on your target computer, and can connect to it over the Internet.
A J2ME enabled device, with socket support.
The Connection Screen has two text boxes, and two check boxes.
The host
box takes the Internet address of the VNC server
you are connecting to, for example: vnc.example.com. This may also
take the display, or the port to connect to. NOTE: numbers less than
5900 are taken to be display numbers, numbers above are taken to be
port number. This is the same as the desktop versions of VNC.
Next you have the Password
. If you have password protected
your VNC server (recommended).
The Shared Desktop check box, when ticked will let more than one VNC
client connect to the server at one time.
Finally, we have Nokia Compatibility Mode
, if you have a Nokia phone
enable this, if not disable it.
Once this is all filled in, press the Connect
command.
You can add Quick Links, which will save your host name, and password on the phone. To access it, you will select the new command with the title of the host name.
The status icon lives in the bottom right hand corner of the screen,
when you have a 
refresh icon, this will
show as the server sends the client new data.
This VNC client works using three modes, Navigation, Mouse and SMS.
To switch modes select the Mode
command, then in Entry
radio selection select the required mode.
To show the current mode, in the bottom right corner you have two icons
The bottom icon is the status icon, as described above, above this is the
mode icon. When it is blank, you are in Navigation mode, when you are
in Mouse Mode you get the 
The Mouse Mode Icon,
and finally, when in SMS mode you get the 
The SMS Mode Icon.
As the mobile screen is almost always smaller than server screen, you need a method of navigating.
The arrow keys will move the screen. Each device uses a different
style of arrow keys, the Nokia 7650 uses a small joystick like device,
while Blackberry's have a wheel which act as up down and other keys for
left right.
Fire does nothing in this mode.
The letter keys and numerical key pad sends the literal to the server, i.e. 'a' will send 'a', '1' will send '1', and so for.
MouseThis mouse mode will let the use move the mouse about the screen.
The arrow keys move the mouse cursor. It starts at the top right of the
servers screen. To quickly call the mouse to the centre of the currently
displayed section, press the Call Mouse
command.
If you press the Options
command, you can change the amount the
mouse moves from between 1 pixel, right up to 20 pixels.
The fire button will press the Right (or default) mouse button once.
(single click), while the Game A button (see your phone documentation)
will double click. If the Game A button is mapped to a character key,
like hash or star the rule below will over ride it.
Fire press the primary mouse button, while secondary fire will double click.
The letter keys and numerical key pad sends the literal to the server, i.e. 'a' will send 'a', '1' will send '1', and so for.
SMSThe SMS mode will allow you to enter text quickly using a SMS style text entry. This does not use an identical key layout to the phone.
The arrow keys act as the cursor keys on a standard keyboard.
The numerical keypad will act as an SMS keyboard. The key layout is as followed.

The options screen allows you to customise the way J2ME VNC works.
Changes the amount that you scroll in Navigation mode. This works in 1/5ths of the screen.
Changes the amount the mouse moves for each press of the direction buttons. Between 1 and 20 pixels.
Will refresh the screen once every 3 seconds.
Local cursor mode will stop the client sending cursor move requests (quicker, less data sent, so cheaper).
