Remote Client

I cannot log into HP TopTools Remote Control from the remote client.

Are you entering the correct password? The login name and password are case sensitive. The factory default login name is ADMIN. Likewise, the factory default login password is ADMIN.

I can no longer communicate with HP TopTools Remote Control from the remote client.

If DHCP is enabled for the HP TopTools Remote Control card, the IP address on the card may have changed. Go back into the card’s BIOS setup program to view the new IP address, or view the card’s new address via HP TopTools Device Manager.

My web browser gives me proxy errors when I try to log into HP TopTools Remote Control from the remote client.

If your network uses a proxy server for Internet (World Wide Web) access, you may need to bypass it to communicate with your HP TopTools Remote Control card. You do this by manually entering the IP address of your HP TopTools Remote Control card in the "exceptions" list in your browser’s connection preferences.

While using console redirection, I click "NT Remote Control" but do not see any graphics.

NT graphics console redirection is managed via pcANYWHERE32. When connected via modem, clicking "NT Remote Control" from the Remote Control page simply redirects control of the HP TopTools Remote Control card serial port to the host server. Once that has been done, you hang up the connection and run pcANYWHERE32 on the remote client and dial back into the HP TopTools Remote Control card. If your server is running Microsoft Windows NT, its console will be redirected to your remote client.

When connected via LAN, you don’t need to use the HP TopTools Remote Control interface. Just launch pCANYWHERE32 and double-click the connection item you set up for your server.

When connected to HP TopTools Remote Control, I am logged off after several minutes of inactivity.

By default, HP TopTools Remote Control automatically terminates a connection after five minutes of inactivity. This feature prevents a user from monopolizing
