Remote Front Panel Operation
Remote Front Panel
Connecting to the OSA over the Network
You can remap the OSA front panel over the network using a PC with an X
windowing emulator or a UNIX workstation running X Windows. The following
X windowing emulators have been tested to ensure correct OSA remote front
panel operation.
• Reflection X revision 8.0.2
• X Win 32 revision 5.0
• UNIX with X Windows
Refer below for specific setup instructions.
Before using the remote front panel ensure:
• That the OSA is connected to the local area network (LAN).
• There are no Proxies between the OSA and the remote system.
• That the underlying network must operate fast enough to allow for reason-
able operation of the OSA.
• If using a PC to run the remote front panel operation, an X Windowing
emulator is available on the PC.
With the exception of the power switch and knob, all front panel OSA func-
tionality is available when using the remote front panel. You can access the
OSA functionality via the main menu bar and make any data entries using the
PC’s keyboard.
