Caution Be very careful when using RCMD to connect to a JACE. You are logged
onto the JACE with administrative privileges, which means you can change
many settings. Changes you make could have unexpected consequences,
including making the host inoperable.
Use the following procedure to open a RCMD session to a JACE-NP:
Procedure 2-4 Connecting to a JACE-NP with RCMD.
Step 1 Connect to the JACE-NP in one of the following ways:
• Browse the Network Neighborhood (in Windows 2000, this is called My
Network Places) and locate the JACE.
– Double-click the JACE
– If requested, log into the JACE using a host user name and password. If
instead of being requested for logon information you see the JACE’s
shared folders, go on to Step 2.
• Open a Niagara Console (see Step 2).
– At the command line, type:
net use \\<servername>\ipc$ /user:<username>
where
• <servername> is the name of the JACE
• <username> is a host user name on the JACE. If your JACE uses
domain security, use
/user:<domain>\<username> instead.
– When prompted, type the password for the host user name.
You see a confirmation that your command completed successfully.
Note Step 1 supplies the logon credentials that the RCMD program uses to connect
to the JACE. After connecting with RCMD you can close the connection you
opened in Step 1.
Step 2 If not already open, open a Niagara Console as follows:
a. Click Start on the Windows task bar
b. Select Programs > Niagara version > Console.
The Niagara Console opens.
Step 3 Type:
rcmd \\<host name>
where <host name> is the name of the JACE-NP.
