Log Out from the RIPC
This link logs out the current user and presents a new login screen. An
automatic logout will occur if there is no admin activity for a period of 30

The Remote Access is the redirected screen, keyboard, and mouse of the
remote host system the RIPC controls.
Initiating Remote Access causes a pop-up window to appear that replicates the

which you are connected to the RIPC.

keyboards by adjusting the keyboard of your remote system to the same mapping as

system uses a U.S. English keyboard layout, special keys on the German
keyboard will no longer function according to the local program, but will
recreate that of their U.S. English counterpart.
The Remote Access Java applet tries to establish its own TCP connection to the
RIPC. Its protocol is not HTTP or HTTPS, but another protocol called RFB
(Remote Frame Buffer Protocol). Currently RFB tries to establish a connection
to port number 443. Your local network environment must allow this
