Serial Session Viewer The Serial Session Viewer enables you to establish serial sessions with individual servers. You can configure user preferences for all sessions and session properties for each server. The Serial Session Viewer offers a scripting function for automatic server login and a logging function for saving session data to a file. The console switch settings indicate whether SSH or plaintext (non-encrypted) sessions (or both) are allowed. Manage Console Switch windows Each Manage Console Switch window is implemented as a network management module and IP console switch that supports a console switch without OBWI availability. The Manage Console Switch window contains tabs, and each tab represents a top-level function category for the console switch. For example, the Manage Console Switch window tabs might be Settings, Status, and Tools. The number and content of tabbed panels differs for each console switch. OBWI The OBWI provides management functions that are similar to those of the HP IP Console Viewer software. However, the OBWI does not require a software installation. Instead, you use a supported browser ("Browser requirements" on page 10) to launch the OBWI directly from the console switch. Any servers that are connected to the console switch are automatically detected. The OBWI must be accessed from a supported operating system ("Supported operating systems" on page 10) that has Java™ 1.6 installed.
