7.5.5 Starting remote control by searching for a computer
If you do not know which computers can be remotely controlled, you can find the computers that can be connected to within the network by performing a search. Then, you can connect to a computer found in the search and start remote control.
To connect to a computer by performing a search:
-
Start the controller.
-
Search for computers.
-
Connect to a computer displayed in the search results.
If you used the connection list to search for computers, select a detected computer, and then click
.
If you used the Remote Controller window to search for computers, select a detected computer that is waiting to be connected to, and then click the Connect button.
The selected computer is connected, and the view of the computer is displayed.
If authentication information is set on the computer, a dialog box for entering the authentication information is displayed when connecting to the computer. In this case, enter the authentication information that was set by selecting Remote Control Security Settings and then User Authentication during agent configuration, or the authentication information that was set on the VNC server to be connected to. The default agent configuration for authentication information is set as follows: user ID=system; password=manager.
In addition, when the settings on the computer are set to display connection requests, if the request is rejected, a message indicating that the connection has been rejected will be displayed on the controller.
- Tip
-
If the request to connect to the computer is rejected or a timeout occurs, try to reconnect the computer by using RFB. Also, when the computer being connected to has been set to turn on when connected to, if the RFB reconnection fails (times out) because the computer is turned off, restart the computer by using Wake on LAN or AMT, and try to connect to the computer again.
