Running the SSU Remotely via an Emergency Management Card
Using graphical hardware redirection via the emergency management card 2, you can see the SSU
Console in VGA graphics mode, control the mouse, and control the keyboard from a local system
connected to a remote server by a network or modem.
The emergency management card 2 provides video memory, keyboard, and mouse redirection
support. Video memory and user input are sent to a remote location through either a modem or
Ethernet link and displayed by the Remote Control console. This solution requires an emergency
management card 2 card installed in the remote server and the Remote Control software available
on the local system. The SSU will execute exclusively on the remote server. Any files required for
the SSU to execute must be on the remote server.
Starting the SSU
SSU consists of a collection of task oriented modules plugged into a common framework called the
Application Framework (AF). The Application Framework provides a launching point for
individual tasks and a location for setting customization information. For full functionality the SSU
requires the availability of the AF.INI, AF.HLP, plus any .ADN files and their associated .HLP and
.INI files.
