Configure Remote Control

The HPCA Console provides the capability to remotely access devices in either the internal or external repository using Windows Remote Desktop Connection, Virtual Network Computing (VNC), or Windows Remote Assistance.

As the HPCA administrator, you can configure the HPCA Console to enable any or all of these connection types. You can also disable remote control altogether.

For each type of connection, you must specify the port on which the remote target devices will be listening for the remote connection. See Requirements for Remote Connections for additional requirements associated with each connection type.

To configure remote control:

  1. On the Configuration tab, click Remote Control in the left navigation tree.
  2. Select the type of connection (or connections) that you want to enable:
  3. For VNC and Windows Remote Desktop, specify the Port on which the remote devices will be listening for the remote connection.

    It is not necessary to specify a port for Windows Remote Assistance, because Windows Remote Assistance always uses a Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) interface on port 135.

  4. Click Save.
  5. Click Close to close the Execution Status dialog box.
