Overview of RConsoleJ Components

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:


RConsoleJ Client

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.


RConsoleJ Agent

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).


RConsoleJ Proxy Agent

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.
