• The “Common Name” is displayed on the login screen and also on the Access Settings
page. The Common Name can be set to the iLO IP address, hostname, or fully-qualified
hostname. If the desired access method to iLO is not the current value in the iLO certificate's

desired Common Name. You will need to reset the iLO and import the new certificate
following the steps outlined above.
Configuration and usage suggestions
• For better responsiveness, select plain wallpaper on the host server system.
• Do not use an animated mouse pointer or enable “mouse trails” on the host server.
• For best remote console performance, set the client screen resolution higher than the host
server.
• For security reasons, if you log into a host server through the IRC, you must log out before
closing the IRC.
IRC features
• IRC maximum supported resolution is 1024 X 768 pixels.
• IRC data is encrypted with the RC4 encryption algorithm.
• IRC uses encryption and compression providing a secure, reduced bandwidth connection.
IRC limitations
• IRC supports only a single user connection.
• IRC does not yet provide identical virtualization of a Windows keyboard. Known issues are:
No support for system level commands such as (ctrl) + (esc), (print screen).◦
◦ No support for simultaneous mouse click and keystroke combinations.
• IRC application closes after 15 minutes of no detected keyboard or mouse activity.
• IRC attempts to pick the best client display settings for that resolution, however some monitors
may have trouble with the highest screen refresh rates supported by the clients video adapter.
