However, in order to make the installation possible you still have to answer the required dialogs with
"yes". The download volume is around 11 Mbytes. The advantage of downloading Sun’s JVM is the
usage of a stable and identical JVM across different platforms. The Remote Console software is
optimized for this JVM version and offers a wider range of functionality when run in SUN’s JVM.
Tip: If you are connected over a slow connection to the Internet you can also pre-install the
JVM on your administration machine. The software is available on the CD ROM that is delivered
along with the ASMI module.
Miscellaneous Remote Console Settings
Start in Monitor Mode
Sets the initial value for the monitor mode. By default the monitor mode is disabled. If case you
switch it on the Remote Console window will be started in a read-only mode, i.e. only remote video
is visible - remote keyboard and mouse are not connected.
Start in Exclusive Access Mode
Enables the exclusive access mode immediately at Remote Console startup. This forces the Remote
Consoles of all other users to close. Nobody else can open the Remote Console at the same time
again until you disable this feature or log off.
Mouse Hotkey
Allows to specify a hotkey combination which starts either the mouse synchronization process if pressed
in the Remote Console or is used to leave the single mouse mode. This is only available if you have
selected the Mouse Mode "Other Operating System".
Remote Console Button Keys
Button Keys allow simulating keystrokes on the remote system that cannot be generated locally. The
reason for this might be a missing key or just the fact that the local operating system of the Remote
Console is unconditionally catching this keystroke already. Typical examples are "Alt+Delete"
on Windows and DOS, that is always caught or the key sequence "Backspace" on Linux that
can be used for terminating the X-Server.
In order to define a new Button Key or to adjust an existing one have a look at the rules that describe the
setting for a key. In general, the syntax for a key is as follows:
[confirm] <keycode>[+|-|>[*]<keycode>]*
A term in brackets is optional. The asterisk at the end means that you may add further keys as is often
required in your case. The term "confirm" adds an confirmation dialog that is displayed before the key
strokes will be sent to the remote host.
