Remote Console (KVM) Operation Intel® Remote Management Module 3 User Guide Remote Console (KVM) Operation The Remote Console is the redirected screen, keyboard and mouse of the remote host system ® where the Intel RMM3 module is installed. To use the Remote Console window of your managed host system, the browser must include a Java Runtime Environment* plug-in.
Figure 23: Remote Console ® The Remote Console window is a Java Applet* that establishes TCP connections to the Intel RMM3 module. The protocol that is used to run these connections is a unique KVM protocol and not HTTP or HTTPS. This protocol uses ports #7578 for KVM, #5120 for CDROM media redirection, and #5123 for Floppy/USB media redirection.
The responsiveness may be slightly delayed depending on ® the bandwidth and latency of the network between the Intel RMM3 module and Remote Console. Enabling KVM and/or media encryption on the Configuration > Remote Session web page will degrade performance as well.
Intel® Remote Management Module 3 User Guide Remote Console (KVM) Operation Figure 25: Remote Console Control Bar The following sub sections describe the tasks you can perform within each control. 6.3.1 Remote Console Video Menu Click Video button in the Remote Console control bar to open the Remote console Video menu as shown in Figure 26.

Remote Console (KVM) Operation Intel® Remote Management Module 3 User Guide On the other hand, with Linux* and Java*, there is less reverse translation required by the application than under Windows and is more likely that a mismatched configuration will work anyway.
Intel® Remote Management Module 3 User Guide Remote Console (KVM) Operation The Soft Keyboard language layout follows the local keyboard language setting when the default Keyboard > Soft Keyboard > Follow Local option is selected. This can be manually overridden by selecting a language.
Remote Console (KVM) Operation Intel® Remote Management Module 3 User Guide 6.3.4 Remote Console Options Menu Figure 32: Remote Console Options Menu Using this menu, you can do the following: Bandwidth. Changing the bandwidth setting affects low-level connection protocol parameters like fragment size and timeouts.
