Accessing the software interface for the HP Remote System
Controller
You can access the internal functions of the HP Remote System Controller using the following methods:
● Use an application program interface (API) to build programmatic access from an external program.
The API follows the industry-standard Redfish specification.
● Access the web interface using an internet browser and the Remote System Controller IP address
shown in the interface. The web interface is designed to handle different desktop screen sizes.
During a typical session you might perform the following functions:
● Open a browser and enter the Remote System Controller URL.
NOTE: If you perform a directory login, you can also use your directory user name and password.
See Configure directory-based authentication on page 12 for setup instructions.
● Enter admin as the user name and the password to log in.
● Perform any host management tasks required.
● If you open a KVM session, a new browser window opens. To close a KVM session, close the window
or use the toolbar icon to exit.
● To close the Remote System Controller session, select the user icon in the upper-right corner and
select Sign out.
NOTE: If your session is inactive for one hour, the session closes automatically and the login screen
