Using Remote Console Options

The HP NetServer E 40 offers a range of remote control capabilities, which allow
you access to a NetServer from a remote site. With a modem connection at one of
the NetServer's serial ports, personnel at a distant workstation or terminal can
control server functions (including the boot process), run diagnostic utilities, and
manage and configure NOS-level NetServer functions.
Support Anywhere includes three distinct methods you can use to remotely control
an HP NetServer. These are:
•
HP Remote Console Redirection (E 40 only)
•
Graphics Console Redirection (Windows NT)
•
RCONSOLE (Novell NetWare / IntranetWare)
CAUTION
All three forms of remote access are password secured.
However, the level of protection is minimal and may therefore
compromise security on some networks. Carefully weigh the
risks when using one of Support Anywhere's Remote Access
features and disable it when it is not needed.
