USING YOUR RIPC

Log Out from the RIPC

This link logs out the current user and presents a new login screen. An automatic logout will occur if there is no admin activity for a period of 30 minutes—following a prompt for re-entry of the password.

Control Host Remote Access

The Remote Access is the redirected screen, keyboard, and mouse of the remote host system the RIPC controls.

Initiating Remote Access causes a pop-up window to appear that replicates the screen of your host system. Remote Access will perform in much the same way from a remote location as if you were sitting directly in front of the computer itself. You will be able to use the keyboard and mouse in the usual way, however, the remote system will react to keyboard and mouse actions with a slight delay. The length of the delay depends on the bandwidth of the line over which you are connected to the RIPC.

Note: You can circumvent communication issues between the local and remote keyboards by adjusting the keyboard of your remote system to the same mapping as that of your local one.

For example, if you are using a German administration system but your host system uses a U.S. English keyboard layout, special keys on the German keyboard will no longer function according to the local program, but will recreate that of their U.S. English counterpart.

The Remote Access Java applet tries to establish its own TCP connection to the RIPC. Its protocol is not HTTP or HTTPS, but another protocol called RFB (Remote Frame Buffer Protocol). Currently RFB tries to establish a connection to port number 443. Your local network environment must allow this
