6: Remote System Control that Button Key has been defined with "Confirm", a confirmation dialog box pops up before the keycode is sent. Other Remote Console Functions Other remote console functions are described in this section. For example, monitor only specifications, exclusive access, capture of the screen to the clipboard and refreshing the video. Monitor Only When Options > Monitor Only is checked, the keyboard and mouse are disabled for this Remote Console window. The Monitor Only state is shown in the lower right corner of the Remote Console status bar. The user must have the appropriate permissions to change this setting. Exclusive Access When Options > Exclusive Access is checked, no other client may open a Remote Console window to this Spider device. Any open Remote Console windows on other clients will be disconnected. The Exclusive Access state is shown in the lower right corner of the Remote Console status bar. The user must have the appropriate permissions to change this setting. Screenshot to Clipboard Options > Screenshot captures a snapshot of the entire target system's virtual screen to the clipboard for pasting into other applications. Refresh Video The entire Remote Console viewport area is redrawn when the Remote Console window is first opened, and when the Auto Adjust Video button is clicked. As the encoding settings and noise filter may sometimes result in visible compression artifacts, selecting Options > Refresh Video can be used to redraw the entire viewport area. Telnet/SSH In addition to interacting with the target system using the KVM Console, the Spider device also allows text communication with the target via the Telnet Console, also a Java program window. Telnet and SSH are network protocols that enable a tunnel from the client system to the Spider device serial port. Once set up, it may be accessed through the web interface at the Telnet Console window, or using a Telnet/SSH client to connect directly. Note that Telnet/SSH cannot be used to connect to the Spider device itself in order to control it, as the device has an HTTP and not a command line interface. The Telnet Console is a Java program and has the same Java Runtime Environment requirements as the Remote Console. When the Telnet Console window is open, the user at the client system can send and receive characters directly to the serial port. Set up and Enable To use Telnet or SSH, the serial port must be put in passthrough mode with the appropriate connection parameters and cabling with Telnet and/or SSH access allowed.

Other Remote Console Functions
Other remote console functions are described in this section. For example, monitor only
specifications, exclusive access, capture of the screen to the clipboard and refreshing the video.
Monitor Only
When
Options > Monitor Only
is checked, the keyboard and mouse are disabled for this Remote
Console window. The Monitor Only state is shown in the lower right corner of the Remote Console
status bar. The user must have the appropriate permissions to change this setting.
Exclusive Access
When
Options > Exclusive Access

Refresh Video
The entire Remote Console viewport area is redrawn when the Remote Console window is first
opened, and when the
Auto Adjust Video
button is clicked. As the encoding settings and noise
filter may sometimes result in visible compression artifacts, selecting
Options > Refresh Video

Telnet/SSH
In addition to interacting with the target system using the KVM Console, the Spider device also
allows text communication with the target via the Telnet Console, also a Java program window.
Telnet and SSH are network protocols that enable a tunnel from the client system to the Spider
device serial port. Once set up, it may be accessed through the web interface at the Telnet
Console window, or using a Telnet/SSH client to connect directly. Note that Telnet/SSH cannot be
used to connect to the Spider device itself in order to control it, as the device has an HTTP and not
a command line interface.
The Telnet Console is a Java program and has the same Java Runtime Environment requirements
as the Remote Console. When the Telnet Console window is open, the user at the client system
can send and receive characters directly to the serial port.
Set up and Enable
To use Telnet or SSH, the serial port must be put in passthrough mode with the appropriate
connection parameters and cabling with Telnet and/or SSH access allowed. If desired, the TCP
