Remote Control - Tripp Lite B092-016 Owner's Manual

16.3 Remote Control

You can access the B092-016 locally via a directly connected keyboard, monitor and mouse (or KVM
switch). If the B092-016 is connected to a KVMoIP infrastructure, then this may also provide you with
some remote access to the B092-016 local consoles (RDP, Telnet, VNC, ICA, JRE etc).
The B092-016 also hosts an embedded VNC server that enables you to remotely monitor and
control the thin client software (RDP, Telnet, VNC, ICA etc) that is running in the B092-016 itself.
Note
You can still run management client software (RDP etc) on the remote computer and use SDT to
securely connect the client directly to the managed devices that are serially or network attached
to the B092-016. This is useful when running proprietary applications (such as Dell OpenManage)
or Windows applications (such as VMware VDI client) on a remote management computer which
is be used to manage a DRAC service processor or VMware virtual device on a remote server.
Each B092-016 gateway has an internal VNC server enabling remote administrators to oversee
local activity, and giving them the option to access and control all the devices themselves. To
activate the VNC server in the B092-016:
 Select the System: Services option in the Management Console menu then check VNC Server or
Secure VNC Server.
 Click Manage: KVM Console Server then Launch Standard VNC Remote Control and your browser
will automatically download and run a Java VNC applet client.
 Log in as root (or some other configured B092-016 username) and as a remote Administrator you
can then connect to the VNC server in the B092-016 and gain remote access to (and monitor and
take control of) the B092-016 local display.
You can find more details on configuration options for the B092-016 realvnc server in:

Note
You can also run a VNC client application such as RealVNC, TightVNC or UltraVNC directly on a
remote computer and configure it with the B092-016's IP address to connect to the B092-016
VNC server.
