Other Remote Console Functions
Other remote console functions are described in this section. For example, monitor only
specifications, exclusive access, capture of the screen to the clipboard and refreshing the video.
Monitor Only
When Options > Monitor Only is checked, the keyboard and mouse are disabled for this Remote
Console window. The Monitor Only state is shown in the lower right corner of the Remote Console
status bar. The user must have the appropriate permissions to change this setting.
Exclusive Access
When Options > Exclusive Access is checked, no other client may open a Remote Console
window to this Spider device. Any open Remote Console windows on other clients will be
disconnected. The Exclusive Access state is shown in the lower right corner of the Remote
Console status bar. The user must have the appropriate permissions to change this setting.
Screenshot to Clipboard
Options > Screenshot captures a snapshot of the entire target system’s virtual screen to the
clipboard for pasting into other applications.
Refresh Video
The entire Remote Console viewport area is redrawn when the Remote Console window is first
opened, and when the Auto Adjust Video button is clicked. As the encoding settings and noise
filter may sometimes result in visible compression artifacts, selecting Options > Refresh Video
can be used to redraw the entire viewport area.
Telnet/SSH
In addition to interacting with the target system using the KVM Console, the Spider device also
allows text communication with the target via the Telnet Console, also a Java program window.
Telnet and SSH are network protocols that enable a tunnel from the client system to the Spider
device serial port. Once set up, it may be accessed through the web interface at the Telnet
Console window, or using a Telnet/SSH client to connect directly. Note that Telnet/SSH cannot be
used to connect to the Spider device itself in order to control it, as the device has an HTTP and not
a command line interface.
The Telnet Console is a Java program and has the same Java Runtime Environment requirements
as the Remote Console. When the Telnet Console window is open, the user at the client system
can send and receive characters directly to the serial port.
Set up and Enable
To use Telnet or SSH, the serial port must be put in passthrough mode with the appropriate
connection parameters and cabling with Telnet and/or SSH access allowed. If desired, the TCP
