You can work on it with the keyboard and mouse. The delay with keyboard and mouse reactions - if any - depends on the line connection bandwidth.

28.Keyboard layout

Your host keyboard changes its layout to match the remote host system. So for example if the host system uses a US English keyboard layout, special keys on a German keyboard won't work but will function as US English keys.

To solve this problem, adjust the remote system keyboard to the same mapping as your host one. Alternatively, use the Soft-Keyboard that is part of the Remote Console applet.

The Remote Console window is a Java Applet that tries to establish its own TCP connection to IP Extender. The protocol that is run over this connection is not HTTP or HTTPS but a protocol called RFB (Remote Frame Buffer Protocol). Currently RFB tries to establish a connection to port number 443. Your local network environment must 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 must be configured accordingly.
