Purpose

Use at a workstation or server to gain access to a local or remote server's console through an IP connection.

NOTE:  RConsoleJ will not allow access to a server if the network administrator has not enabled RConsoleJ connections using RCONAG6.

During an RConsoleJ session, you can load and unload modules and execute console commands. You cannot transfer files to or from a server.

IMPORTANT:  For security reasons, this version of RConsoleJ must be used only inside firewalls.

You can launch RConsoleJ using any of the following methods.

• In ConsoleOne, right-click a NetWare Server object > click Remote Console.
• In NetWare Administrator, click Tools > Pure IP Remote Console.
• From a Windows^® 95, 98 or NT^® workstation with a drive mapped to volume SYS: on a NetWare server, go to \PUBLIC\MGMT\CONSOLEONE\1.2 and double-click RCONJ.EXE.
• At a NetWare server console prompt, type RCONJ.

• To use RConsoleJ, you must have an IP connection to the network and be logged in to a NetWare 5 server.

• To access a server console, RCONAG6.NLM must be loaded on that server and you must know the remote password.

  The user ADMIN password doesn't allow remote access unless you set it as the password when you load RCONAG6.

• You don't need the Supervisor right to the NetWare Server object in NDS, since RConsoleJ doesn't use NDS.

• During a remote console session, click Help for online help.

  NOTE:  Graphical screens are not displayed in remote console utilities.

  When the utility launches, if a graphical screen is displayed on the server console screen, the System Console screen is displayed in the remote view.

  After a remote console session starts, if someone at the server console switches to a graphical screen, the switch is not reflected on the remote screen.

• You can use the following keystrokes during a remote console session. All other keys function as if you were at the server console.
