4.1 The Remote Console
The Remote Console window is a Java Applet that tries to establish its own
TCP connection to the SP1200A. The protocol that is run over this connection
is neither HTTP nor 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 NAT (Network Address Translation) settings have to be configured
accordingly.
In case the IP KVM 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.
