For best performance, be sure to configure the host operating system display as described in "Optimizing performance for graphical Remote Console (on page 37)."

Remote Console Information Option

The Remote Console Information option displays information concerning the Remote Console options available, as well as a link to download an updated Java™ Runtime Environment, which is necessary for using Remote Console with the single cursor option.

Although up to 10 users are allowed to simultaneously log in to RILOE II, only one user at a time can access the Remote Console. A warning message displays indicating the Remote Console is already in use.

Remote Console will not be available if the remote console port configuration on the Global Settings tab is set to disabled.

Using Enhanced Features of the Remote Console

Local Cursor

Local (single) cursor mode presents a single mouse cursor during a Remote Console session. Synchronization of two cursors is eliminated, making navigation easier in the Remote Console window. Local cursor mode is the default setting.

The dual cursor mode uses two mouse cursors in the Remote Console window to represent the host server mouse cursor and the local client mouse cursor. The local client cursor is seen as a crosshair in the Remote Console window.

To switch to dual cursor mode, click OFF next to Local Cursor. To return to single cursor mode, click ON next to Local Cursor.

Refresh

Instances might occur when the Remote Console screen is not displaying the latest data. Click Refresh to force the RILOE II to repaint the screen.

Ctl+Alt+Del

Click Ctl+Alt+Del to log on to Windows NT®, Windows® 2000, and Windows® Server 2003.
