NOTE: Java 1.6.0_11 or later is required to launch a session.

the Action column, and will depend on the target device that was selected
to launch the session. If more than one action is available for a given target

list.
If the target device is currently in use, you may be able to gain access by forcing
a connection to the device if your preemption level is equal to or higher than
the current user’s.
The RCS also allows serial sessions to Serial SIPs via an external Telnet or SSH

Serial SIPs and cannot be used to access or manage RCS or KVM target devices.
To launch a serial session from a Telnet or SSH application:
