Figure 5-4: Remote Console
The Remote Console window is a Java Applet that establishes its own connection to the freeView IP 800. The protocol used by the Remote Console is RFB (Remote Frame Buffer Protocol). Currently, RFB uses port number 443 to establish a connection. For proper operation, ensure that the local network environment allows traffic on port 443.
Note: If the freeView IP 800 is connected to the Internet through a proxy server without NAT, the Remote Console will not be available from the WAN interface because web proxies are not able to relay the RFB packets.
In case of problems, consult the network administrator for proper network configuration.
5.10 Main Window
Starting the Remote Console will open another additional window which displays the screen content of the host system. The Remote Console will behave the same as if it was being used locally, including the keyboard and mouse. However, the reaction time for the keyboard and mouse will have a slight delay. The severity of the delay depends on the bandwidth available to access the unit. Also, special keyboard combinations (e.g.
Note: If a keyboard whose language is different from the host system’s default language is used (e.g. a US English local keyboard is used to control a remote host running a German operating system), the local language will be used instead of the remote language. In the previous example, US characters will be sent to the host instead of German characters. To emulate the remote host language, select the appropriate language using the Local Keyboard option in the dropdown menu. See the next section for more details.
The Remote Console window will automatically adjust to fit the size of the remote screen.
