Before setting up RConsoleJ, you should understand the RConsoleJ components. The following RConsoleJ components interact with each other to help you remotely control a NetWare server:
The RConsoleJ Client is a Java-based utility running on a Java-enabled workstation or NetWare server. From the RConsoleJ Client you can remotely control and monitor all NetWare console operations.
The RConsoleJ Agent (RCONAG6.NLM) is a utility running on the target NetWare server. The target NetWare server can be connected over IP, IPXTM, or IP/IPX running the RConsoleJ Agent. The RConsoleJ Agent services all RConsoleJ Client requests.
The RConsoleJ Agent advertises its services using Service Location Protocol (SLP).
The RConsoleJ Proxy Agent (RCONPRXY.NLM) is a utility running on a NetWare server. It routes all IP packets to IPX and vice versa.
The RConsoleJ Proxy Agent advertises its services using Service Location Protocol (SLP).
IMPORTANT: If the target NetWare server uses only IPX, the NetWare server (loaded with the RConsoleJ Proxy Agent) must have both IP and IPX stacks installed.
