Remote Console

The Remote Console is the redirected screen, keyboard and mouse of the remote host system.
To use the Remote Console window of your managed host system, the browser must include a
Java* Runtime Environment plug-in. If the browser has no Java support, such as with a small
handheld device, the user can maintain the remote host system using the administration forms
displayed by the browser.
The Remote Console window is a Java Applet that establishes TCP connections to the BMC.
The protocol that is run over 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. When encryption is enabled, the protocol uses ports
#7582 for KVM, #5124 for CDROM media redirection, and #5127 for Floppy/USB media
redirection. The local network environment must permit these connections to be made, that is,
the firewall and, in case of a private internal network, the NAT (Network Address Translation)
settings have to be configured accordingly.
