6-2 Selecting the RGS mode

As shown in Figure 6-1, RGS supports three modes to connect to blade workstations from the client computer:

•

Normal Mode

(default)—Referred to previously as

Manual Mode

, the blade workstation hostname or IP

address is entered into the RGS Receiver Control Panel to establish a connection.

•

Directory Mode

—The blade workstation IP addresses are stored in a file on the client computer. These

addresses are used to auto-start the connections to each blade workstation.

•

Enterprise Mode

—Queries the enterprise server IP address or hostname for blade workstation available for

connection. Multiple enterprise servers can be used. If the first server IP address is not found, the second one

is tried, and so on.

Select the desired mode, and provide any additional information that is required.

6-3 Setting additional RGS parameters

Figure 6-3 shows the lower portion of the Blade Connection Settings screen for Embedded OS 10.50. The lower

portion of the screen enables you to set additional RGS parameters.

Using the above screens, the following parameters can be set if values different from the default values are needed:

•

Warning timeout

•

Error timeout

•

Use global image updates

•

RGS logging level

For information on these parameters, see the RGS documentation described in Section 1-5, “

HP Remote Graphics

Software documentation

.”

6-4 Establishing an RGS connection

If

Normal Mode

is selected, the blade workstation hostname or IP address is entered in the Receiver Control

panel. If

Directory Mode

is selected, the blade workstations specified and stored in the

directory.txt

file will

connect automatically. If

Enterprise Mode

is selected, the blade workstations specified by the enterprise server

will connect automatically.

See the RGS documentation for details on each of these modes, and how to establish an RGS connection in each

mode.
