Using The Viewer; Accessing Servers From The Remote Console Switch Software - Dell PowerEdge 180AS User Manual

Using the Viewer

You can connect to a server in the Remote Console Switch system using the
Viewer. The Viewer allows you full keyboard, monitor and mouse control over
a server.
You can also scan through a customized list of servers by enabling individual
servers to appear in the Thumbnail Viewer. This view contains a series of
thumbnail frames, each containing a small, scaled, non-interactive version of
a server's screen image. For more information, see "Viewing Multiple Servers
Using the Scan Mode" on page 117.
You can launch the Viewer from the Remote Console Switch Software or the
on-board web interface. Each section in this chapter applies to both products
except where noted.
NOTE:
The Remote Console Switch will attempt to detect if Java is already
installed on your PC. If it is not, in order to use the on-board web interface, you will
need to install it. You may also need to associate the JNLP file with Java WebStart.
Accessing Servers from the Remote Console
Switch Software
The Servers tab in the Remote Console Switch Software displays a list of
servers defined in the database. The Group Selector pane appears displaying
a tree view containing all of the unique server types that are defined in the
database. The Group Selector pane only appears if two or more server types
are defined. You can either click All Servers or click on a folder to view all the
servers of a particular type. When you select a server and click the Connect
Video task button, the Viewer launches.
