The Remote Console is the redirected screen, keyboard and mouse of the remote host system
that the IP ACCESS SWITCH LITE switch controls. Selecting this button opens the
Remote
Console Main Window.
The Remote Console window is a Java Applet that establishes its own TCP connection to the IP
ACCESS SWITCH LITE. The protocol that runs over this connection is neither HTTP nor
HTTPS, but RFB (Remote Frame Buffer Protocol). RFB needs to establish a connection to port
number 443. Your local network environment has to allow this connection to be made, i.e. your
firewall and, if you have a private internal network, your NAT (Network Address Translation)
settings have to be configured accordingly.
If the IP ACCESS SWITCH LITE is connected to your local network environment and your
connection to the Internet is available using a proxy server only, without NAT being configured,
the Remote Console is very unlikely to be able to establish a connection. This is because
today's web proxies are not capable of relaying the RFB protocol.
If you experience problems, please consult your network administrator in order to provide an
appropriate network environment.
4.3.1 Remote Console Main Window
Starting the Remote Console opens an additional window. It displays the screen content of your
host system. The Remote Console will behave in exactly the same way as if you were sitting
directly in front of the screen of your host system. This means that the keyboard and mouse can
be used in the usual way. However, be aware of the fact that the host system will react to
keyboard and mouse actions with a slight delay. The delay depends on the bandwidth of the
line which you use to connect to the IP ACCESS SWITCH LITE.
