Establishing a Connection Using
Windows HyperTerminal
HyperTerminal is a terminal emulation application generally available on any
Windows-based management console. Since it supports ANSI terminal
emulation and is a standard part of Microsoft Windows 95 and Windows NT, it
serves as a good example of how an administrator could manage an Integrated
Remote Console-based server from a standard ANSI terminal. Although the
following information is specific to HyperTerminal, many of the concepts
apply to other terminal emulation applications.
There are some limitations if you are not connecting to Integrated Remote
Console through Compaq Insight Manager. Limitations specific to the
HyperTerminal application include:
■ Server video is limited to 24 lines — The terminal size for ANSI
emulation within HyperTerminal is 24 lines and is not configurable. As
a result, Integrated Remote Console can only display the first 24 lines of
server video, regardless of the video mode currently displayed on the
server. Be sure to set the terminal size within Integrated Remote
Console to 24 lines for remote console video to be drawn correctly.
■ Must use attention sequence [Atn] Esc to return to the IRC main menu
from remote console mode.
■ Must use attention key sequences to generate the following key
sequences to the server:
❏ function keys (F1-F12)
❏ ALT- keys (ALT-F, and so on)
❏ Editing keys (Insert, Delete, Home, End, Page Up, Page Down)
NOTE
: See Chapter 5 for more information on attention key sequences.
