6: Remote System Control
Spider™ and SpiderDuo® KVM-over-IP Device User Guide 49
Basic Remote Console Operation
When the Remote Console window is open, there are three key zones:
Outside the Remote Console window, interaction is with the local computer’s operating system
or applications.
Inside the Remote Console window’s viewport, interaction is with the target computer.
Inside the Remote Console window but outside the viewport, interaction is with the Remote
Console control functions such as the toolbar or scroll bars.
Figure 6-2 Remote Console Window
Within the Remote Console viewport, interaction with the remote computer is generally the same
as if there were a direct connection (with a minor lag due to network latency). Windows may be
opened, applications run, settings changed, maintenance functions performed, even system
reboots performed. Powering down the target computer results in powering down the Spider
device or SpiderDuo unless the redundant supply is used.
