HP Integrated Lights-Out 2 User Guide

Remote Console uses dual cursors to help you distinguish between the local and remote mouse
pointers. The client computer's mouse cursor appears in the Remote Console as a crosshair symbol.
For best performance, be sure to configure the host operating system display as described in
“Recommended client settings” (page 94)and “Recommended server settings” (page 95).
To synchronize the remote and local cursors if they drift apart, do one following:
• Right-click, drag, and move the local crosshair cursor to align with the mouse cursor of the
remote server.
• Press and hold the right Ctrl key, and move the local crosshair cursor to align with the mouse
cursor of the remote server.
The local cursor takes the shape of the remote cursor. The cursor appears as a single cursor if the
local cursor and the remote cursor are perfectly aligned and the hardware acceleration is set to
Full on the managed server.
Remote Console features and controls
The Remote Console applet contains buttons that provide iLO 2 with enhanced features and control.
These options are:
• Refresh causes iLO 2 to refresh the screen.
• Terminal Svcs launches the Microsoft Terminal Services client installed on the system. This
button is deactivated if Terminal Services is disabled or is not installed on the server.
• Ctrl-Alt-Del enters the key sequence Ctrl+Alt+Del in the Remote Console.
• Alt Lock, when selected, sends any key pressed to the server as if you pressed the Alt key and
another key simultaneously.
• Character Set changes the default character set used by the Remote Console. Modifying the
Remote Console character set ensures the correct display of characters.
• Close ends the Remote Console session and closes the Remote Console window.
Recommended client settings
Ideally, the remote server operating system display resolution must be the same resolution, or
smaller, than that of the browser computer. Higher server resolutions transmit more information,
slowing the overall performance.
