Opening a Console Redirection Session
When you open a console redirection session, the Dell Virtual KVM Viewer Application starts and the
remote system's desktop appears in the viewer. Using the Virtual KVM Viewer Application, you can
control the system's mouse and keyboard functions from a local or remote management station.
To open a console redirection session, perform the following steps:
1
On your management station, open a supported Web browser and log into the DRAC 5. See
"Accessing the Web-Based Interface" for more information.
2 In the System tree, click System and then in the Console tab, click Console Redirect .
NOTE: If you receive a security warning prompting you to install and run the Console Redirection plug-in, verify the
plug-in’s authenticity and then click Yes to install and run the plug-in. If you are running Firefox, restart the browser
and then go to step 1.
3 In the Console Redirection page, use the information in Figure 7-4 to ensure that a console
redirection session is available.
