Chapter 6 Setting Up NT Graphics Console Redirection Using pcAnywhere
Console Redirection Over a LAN
Though pcAnywhere does need to be installed on the server, you do not need to
install pcAnywhere on your remote console if you are using Console Redirection
over the LAN. pcAnywhere Express is already built into the HP Server Remote
Management Card (but only supports a LAN connection). You may skip to the
"Using NT Graphics Console Redirection" section later in this chapter.
Installing pcAnywhere Remote Client Software (Modem Connection)
pcAnywhere must be already installed and configured as a host on your HP
Server before you can initiate a call from your remote client. Refer to "Installing
pcAnywhere on the Server" in this chapter for installation and configuration
procedures.
Once installed and properly configured, pcAnywhere runs as a startup service on
your server and is therefore always ready and waiting for a call from a remote
client running pcAnywhere remote client software.
To install pcAnywhere to a remote client running either Windows 95, 98, 2000, or
Windows NT 4.0, run the pcAnywhere setup program. Insert the HP Netserver
Navigator CD into the CD-ROM drive and run setup.exe located in the following
directory:
x:\util\pca32\language\disk1\setup.exe
where x: is the letter of the CD-ROM and language is the two letter acronym for
your local language (example: us=English, fr=French, ge=German, it=Italian,
sp=Spanish). Follow the on-screen instructions to complete installation of
pcAnywhere software for the client.
Once the software is installed, go to the next section and configure pcAnywhere's
remote features to access and graphically redirect your server's console to the
remote client.
Configuring pcAnywhere Remote Client Software
The first time you start pcAnywhere, the Smart Setup Wizard helps you configure
your system by prompting you for basic information. Configure the connection
items depending on the type of connection you want to use. If you wish, you can
configure separate LAN and modem connections to the same HP Server.
To configure pcAnywhere at the remote client:
1. Run pcAnywhere either by double-clicking the pcAnywhere program icon
(in the pcAnywhere program group), or by accessing it from the Start
menu.
