Remote Console
Remote console enables the user to view the screen of a server or key in data to the server from the keyboard of the management PC as if operating the keyboard of the server. When a server is connected to MWA, the remote console function allows the server screen to display in the server window.
Remote Drive
Remote drive allows a server to access the diskette drive on the management PC or a FD image file as if it were the drive on the server.
Note: A FD image file is copied and saved from a floppy disk. This file can be used instead of a floppy disk as a remote drive for a server.
A server can also be booted from a floppy disk on the management PC. When the remote drive function is in use, [RD] is displayed at the title bar of the server window. In this case diskette drive A on a server is allocated as a remote drive. Therefore, the floppy disk drive of the server itself cannot be used while the remote drive function is in use.
