Opening a Virtual Console Session

When you open a Virtual Console session, the Dell Virtual Console Viewer Application starts and the remote system’s desktop is displayed in the viewer. Using the Virtual Console Viewer Application, you can control the remote system’s mouse and keyboard functions from your local management station.

NOTE: Virtual Console launch from a Windows Vista management station may lead to Virtual Console restart messages. To avoid this, set the appropriate timeout values in the following locations: Control Panel→ Power Options→ Power Saver→ Advanced Settings→ Hard Disk→ Turnoff Hard Disk After <time_out> and in the Control Panel→ Power Options→ High–Performance→Advanced Settings→ Hard Disk→ Turnoff Hard Disk After <time_out>.

To open a Virtual Console session in the Web interface, perform the following steps:

1Click System→ Console/Media→ Virtual Console and Virtual Media.
