Warning
If there is no activity for 30 minutes, the IP module will log you out, automatically. A
click on one of the links will bring you back to the login screen.
2-2.2 Logout from the IP Module
This link logs out the current user and presents a new login screen. Please note that an automatic logout
will be performed if there is no activity for 30 minutes.
2-3 The Remote Console
The Remote Console is the redirected screen, keyboard and mouse of the remote host system that IP module
controls.
The Remote Console window is a Java Applet that tries to establish its own TCP connection to the IP
module. The protocol that is run over this connection is neither HTTP or HTTPS, but RFB (Remote Frame
Buffer Protocol). As default, RFB tries to establish a connection to TCP port number 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 IP module 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 desired connection. This is because 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 networking
environment.
