Customizing Your Connection Items
If you want to rename a connection item, right-click it, select Rename, and type
in a new name. You can also copy, paste, and reconfigure a connection item to
create an icon for each server you manage.
Installation and configuration of pcANYWHERE32 at the client is now
complete. Proceed to the next section for instructions on the use of
pcANYWHERE32 to redirect the NT graphics console.
Using NT Graphics Console Redirection
From your remote client, to enable graphics console redirection (the ability to
redirect what’s graphically displayed on your server) either over the LAN or via
modem, follow the directions listed below.
For a LAN connection
To initiate NT remote control via the LAN connection, do not go through the
TopTools Remote Control web interface. Simply run the pcANYWHERE32
application at your client. Click the Remote Control action button. Then
double-click the connection item you created for the server you want to manage.
Your NetServer’s console is immediately redirected to your client.
For a Modem connection
1. From your remote client, connect to server’s HP TopTools Remote Control
card using dial-up networking.
2. Once a connection is established, use your web browser to login to HP
TopTools Remote Control and click the Remote Control tab.
3. Click the "NT Remote Control" button. This switches control of the
TopTools Remote Control card serial port to the server. You have 5
minutes to establish a connection using pcANYWHERE32 before
TopTools Remote Control resets the serial port.
4. Hang up the dial-up networking connection. Right-click on the dial-up
networking icon on the task bar (shown below) and click "hang up."
