Using the Graphical Remote Console to
Manage the Remote Host Server
The Remote Console feature of the RILOE board redirects the host server
console to the network client browser, providing full text and graphical mode
video, keyboard, and mouse access to the remote host server.
With the Remote Console, you have complete control over a remote host
server as if you were in front of it. You can access the remote file system and
the network drives. The Remote Console allows you to change hardware and
software settings of the remote host server, install applications and drivers,
change remote server screen resolution, and gracefully shut down the remote
system.
