General Description
The Remote Console is the redirected screen, keyboard and mouse of the remote host system that the B050-000 controls.
Figure 5-4. Remote Console
The Remote Console window is a Java Applet that tries to establish its own TCP connection to the B050-000. The protocol
that is run over this connection is neither HTTP nor HTTPS, but RFB (Remote Frame Buffer Protocol). Currently RFB
tries to establish a connection to port #443. Your local network environment has to allow this connection to be made, i.e.
your firewall and, in case you have a private internal network, your NAT (Network Address Translation) settings have to
be configured accordingly.
In case the B050-000 is connected to your local network environment and your connection to the Internet is available using
a proxy server only without NAT being configured, the Remote Console is very unlikely to be able to establish the
appropriate connection. The reason is that today's web proxies are not capable of relaying the RFB protocol. In case of
problems, please consult your network administrator in order to provide an appropriate network environment.
Main Window
Starting the Remote Console opens an new window. It displays the screen content of your host system. The Remote
Console will behave exactly in the same way as if you were sitting directly in front of the screen of your remote system.
That means keyboard and mouse can be used in the usual way. However, be aware that the remote system will react to
keyboard and mouse actions with a slight delay. The delay depends on the bandwidth of the line, which you use to connect
to the B050-000.
