Remote Front Panel Operation
Remote Front Panel
Connecting to the OSA over the Network
You can remap the OSA front panel over the network using a PC with an X windowing emulator
or a UNIX workstation running X Windows. The following X windowing emulators have been
tested to ensure correct OSA remote front panel operation.
• Reflection X revision 8.0.2
• X Win 32 revision 5.0
• UNIX with X Windows
Refer below for specific setup instructions.
Before using the remote front panel ensure:
• That the OSA is connected to the local area network (LAN).
• There are no Proxies between the OSA and the remote system.
• That the underlying network must operate fast enough to allow for reasonable operation of the
OSA.
• If using a PC to run the remote front panel operation, an X Windowing emulator is available on
the PC.
With the exception of the power switch and knob, all front panel OSA functionality is available
when using the remote front panel. You can access the OSA functionality via the main menu bar
and make any data entries using the PC's keyboard.
