5.3The Remote Console

General description

The Remote Console is the redirected screen, keyboard and mouse of the remote host system that KVM-9000 controls.

Figure 5-4. Remote Console

The Remote Console window is a Java Applet that tries to establish its own TCP connection to the KVM-9000. The protocol that is run over this connection is neither HTTP or HTTPS, but RFB (Remote Frame Buffer Protocol). Currently, RFB tries to establish a connection to port number 443. Your local network environment has to allow this connection to be made, i.e. your firewall and, in case you have a private internal network, your NAT (Network Address Translation) settings have to be configured accordingly.

In case the KVM-9000 is connected to your local network environment and your connection to the Internet is available using a proxy server only without NAT being configured, the Remote Console is very unlikely to be able to establish the according connection. This is because today's web proxies are not capable of relaying the RFB protocol.
