HP Console Redirection (E40 only)
HP Console Redirection is built into the E 40 and E 45 NetServer BIOS and is
NOS independent. Use HP's BIOS level remote access to diagnose and remedy
problems associated with a NetServer's hardware operations or configuration.
Using Remote Console, you can remotely access a customer's NetServer to:
Update the system BIOS. This feature is particularly useful since it allows
you to update a NetServer's BIOS remotely.
Run HPVGSet Utility to configure and test HP 10Base-T adapters
(J2973A or J2970A).
Run the SCSI Configuration Utility. This utility allows you to configure
the server's SCSI host adapter settings, format a disk, or verify disk
media.
Run the Diagnostic Assistant. This utility provides you with ways to test a
NetServer's hardware components, including main circuit board function.
Remotely boot the server and view startup messages.
Set or reset system date, time, and keyboard language.
Take complete remote control of a customer's HP NetServer running
Windows NT. Using pcANYWHERE32 graphic console redirection, you
can perform all management operations on the HP NetServer from your
remote console.
Graphics Console Redirection (Windows NT)
You can use pcANYWHERE32's capabilities (when installed at both NetServer
and remote console) to gain virtually full graphic control over an HP NetServer E
40 or E 45 from a remote location.
Using this feature, the console display exactly mimics the display at the
NetServer. In this way, you can take full control of your HP NetServer from the
remote console. pcANYWHERE32 graphics console redirection requires your HP
NetServer to be running Windows NT.
pcANYWHERE32 allows you to redirect what's graphically displayed on an HP
NetServer running Windows NT 3.51 or 4.0 to a remote Windows NT 3.51 or
Windows 95 PC console. Features include the ability to:
launch the NetServer's registry editor
