3 Installing Graphic Console Redirection
(Windows NT)
If you want to access an HP NetServer running Windows NT 4.0 and your remote console is running either
Windows NT or Windows 95, you can redirect all the information displayed on the HP NetServer to your
remote console using pcANYWHERE32.
The following figure shows how the Graphic Console Redirection is set up.

Figure 3-1. A Typical Installation of Graphics Console Redirection
A window on the console display exactly mimics the display at the NetServer. In this way, you can take full
control of your HP NetServer from the remote console. However, to enable graphics redirection,
pcANYWHERE32 software must be installed on both the NetServer and the remote console.
NOTE
pcANYWHERE32 graphics console redirection requires your HP NetServer to be
running Windows NT. In addition, pcANYWHERE32 operates only on consoles running
either Windows 95 or Windows NT.
pcANYWHERE32 allows you to redirect what’s graphically displayed on an HP NetServer running
Windows NT 3.51 or 4.0 to a remote Windows NT 3.51, 4.0, or Windows 95 PC console.
Installation of pcANYWHERE32 is a two-part process. Separate setup steps are required for installation at
the NetServer and at the workstation designated as the remote console.
Minimum Server Requirements
In order to use Graphic Console Redirection, your server needs:
•
An external modem or direct connection via one of the HP NetServer’s two serial ports
•
pcANYWHERE32 communications software running on the HP NetServer with Windows NT Server
3.51, 4.0, or BackOffice Small Business Server 4.0.
