HP Netserver E 45/E 50 Remote Administrator Guide

4 Installing RCONSOLE (NetWare)

Novell NetWare's RCONSOLE feature works at the NOS level to provide full

remote access to a NetServer running NetWare/IntranetWare. Installation of

RCONSOLE requires specific setup steps at both the console and NetServer

before you can establish an RCONSOLE communications link. Only the

NetServer needs to be running NetWare/IntranetWare; the RCONSOLE program

can be run from a DOS prompt. Thus, the only software requirement is that the

client has access to DOS.

The following figure shows how RCONSOLE works on a NetServer running

NetWare.
