RMM4 Operation
The Intel
®
RMM4 module features remote KVM access and control through LAN or Internet.
The Intel
®
Integrated BMC Web Console is part of the standard BMC firmware / Server
Management Software. The Integrated BMC Web Console feature is used to access the remote
KVM.
This section describes both the interfaces and how to use them. The interfaces are accessed
using TCP/IP protocol.
5.1 Before You Begin
For initial setup information, refer to Chapter 4. Before you log in, you must enable the
intended user. The examples in this chapter use user “root’, but other usernames and
passwords could be used.
The Intel
®
RMM4 enabled advanced features may be accessed using a standard Java* enabled
web browser. You may use the HTTP protocol or a secure encrypted connection from the
HTTPS configurable in the embedded web server.
5.1.1 Client Browsers
In order to access the web console using a securely encrypted connection, you need a browser
that supports the HTTPS protocol. Strong security is only assured by using a Cipher Strength
(encryption) of 128-bit. Some older browsers may not have a strong 128-bit encryption
algorithm.
If you are using Microsoft Windows Internet Explorer 7.0* or higher, you can verify the strong
encryption by opening the Help/About menu to read about the key length that is currently
activated. Figure 38 shows the dialog box presented by Microsoft Windows Internet Explorer
8.0*.
