Enhanced Features of the Remote Console | HP Integrated Lights-Out

54 User Guide Integrated Lights-Out

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

Enhanced Features of the Remote Console

The Remote Console applet contains five buttons that provide iLO with enhanced features. These options have the following functions:

•Refresh—Forces iLO to repaint the screen.

•Terminal Svcs—Launches the Microsoft® Terminal Services client installed on this system. This button is grayed out if Terminal Services is disabled or is not installed on the server.

•Ctrl-Alt-Del—Enters the key sequence Ctrl+Alt+Del into the Remote Console.

•Alt Lock—When selected, any key pressed is sent to the server as if you pressed the Alt key and another key simultaneously.

•Character Set—Changes the default character set used by the Remote Console. Modifying the Remote Console character set ensures the correct display of characters.

•Close—Closes the Remote Console window and ends the Remote Console session.

Optimizing Performance for Graphical Remote Console

HP recommends the following client and server settings based on the operating system used.

Recommended Client Settings

Ideally, the remote server operating system display resolution should be the same resolution, or smaller, than that of the browser computer. Higher server resolutions transmit more information, slowing the overall performance.

Use the following client and browser settings to optimize performance:
