Maintenance Tools with Remote Console

This subsection describes the procedures for using the Maintenance Tools with a remote console.
The Maintenance Tools contains a remote console feature that allows the system administrator to set up the server from
the management workstation (management PC) via the network or the server's COM2 (serial) port.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use this feature on any other computer than the server, or on any other server
obtained without the EXPRESSBUILDER. Doing so may cause a failure of the server.
Select "Maintenance Tools (Redirection mode)" for the remote console in the "Boot
Selection" menu. Even if the rest is selected, it is not displayed in the management PC.
Starting
The following two methods are available to start the server.
Running Maintenance Tools from the management PC via LAN
