Browser accessibility
Remote Insight boards are fully accessible by way of Microsoft Internet
Explorer 4.01 or later, Netscape Communicator 4.08 or later, or any
other Java 1.1 or later compliant browser software. This capability
enables easy access to the features of the Remote Insight board, giving
administrators full control of the remote host server’s display, keyboard,
and mouse, regardless of the state of the host server or operating system.
Using a familiar Web browser interface, administrators can easily
perform all remote management tasks.
■ Reset and failure sequence replay
Video text sequences stored on the Remote Insight board enable an
administrator to replay server startup and shutdown sequences. You can
view the last two server resets and the last server failure. These
sequences include all system and operating system error messages and
fatal error screens such as Novell NetWare operating system Abnormal
End (Abend) screens and Microsoft Windows NT operating system blue
screens.
■ SNMP alerts from the Remote Insight board to a management console
You can use a management console to read certain server alerts, through
the Remote Insight board, such as SNMP alerts and unauthorized access
alerts.
■ User administration and security
Remote Insight boards support up to 12 users with customizable access
rights, login names, client IP address restrictions, and advanced
password encryption. A user can have supervisor status with the ability
to create, modify, or delete other users. Non-supervisor users can be
denied access to the Remote Insight login, to the server’s Remote
Console, and to the remote reboot features of the Remote Insight board.
The Remote Insight board provides secure password encryption,
tracking all login attempts and maintaining a record of all login failures.
When login attempts fail, the board also generates alerts and sends them
to a remote management console.
The Remote Insight board also provides the following security features:
G Optional lockout capability for remote console port
G User actions logged in Remote Insight Event Log
G Progressive delays for failed login attempts
