Novell Help Librarian Data File Version 1.00 COPYRIGHT (c) 1985 by Novell, Inc. All Rights Reserved. AVAILABLE SERVERS HELP Displayed is a list of NetWare 386 file servers accessible with the Remote Console utility. To access the file server's console, highlight a server and press the ENTER key; enter the password when prompted. To exit the list of servers, press the ESCAPE key. You can also specify a server name on the command line. This can be useful if, for whatever reason, the name is not found in the list of servers. (ex: RCONSOLE SERVER1) If you run RConsole this way, you will be prompted for the password without having to select a server from the list of remotely accessible servers. Pg 1 of 2 AVAILABLE SERVERS HELP When accessing a file server's console, you will see all screen updates being made at the file server's monitor. Also, the keys you type at your keyboard will be sent to the file server and entered as if they had been typed in there. To cycle through the screens defined on the file server, press the gray + and - keys. To display a menu of other available options (Select Screen, Directory Scan, Transfer Files, etc.), press the gray * key. When you are done accessing a server, press "SHIFT-ESCAPE" to return to the Available Servers list. Pg 2 of 2 PASSWORD HELP To access a file server's console from a remote location, you need to know either the supervisor password or the password that was entered when the REMOTE NLM was loaded.

You can select any screen to view from the list. (The gray + and - keys also allow you to switch screens.)

Select this option and enter the path to be displayed. The file names, dates, and sizes will be displayed. Wildcards are accepted. Page 1 of 3= AVAILABLE OPTIONS HELP Transfer Files To Server This option allows you to copy files from the workstation to the file server. You will first be prompted for a source path. (The source path is of the form [drive:][path]. Wildcards are accepted, but NetWare Volumes are not.) You will then be prompted for a target path on the file server (DOS area or NetWare Volumes accepted). Then the remote console utility will copy the selected files to the file server. Copy System And Public Files This option allows you to install the system and public files on the server (the same feature exists in the INSTALL NLM). If subdirectories containing the system and public files exist in the current directory, the files therein will be installed on the server. If such subdirectories do not exist in the current directory, you will be prompted to insert the appropriate Installation diskette(s). Page 2 of 3 AVAILABLE OPTIONS HELP Shell To Operating System This option allows you to exit to DOS. You must have a valid command processor (COMMAND.COM) in your COMSPEC or PATH environment variable. To return to the remote console, type EXIT at the DOS prompt. End Remote Session With Server (SHIFT-ESCAPE) This option clears your connection with the current server and returns to the list of available servers. As indicated, pressing SHIFT-ESCAPE does the same. Resume Remote Session With Server (ESC) This option exits the Available Options menu, and returns to the server console screen.

Pg 1 of 1 LOCATION AND PHONE NUMBER HELP Displayed is the form that allows you to define the information about a remotely accessible server. Location You can enter anything (up to 40 characters) for the Location field. It can be the name of a server, a department, a city, and so on. It is only a means to help identify a server by more than just the phone number of the server's modem. Phone Number Enter the phone number for calling the remote server's modem. Since this number is appended to the Dial Command being sent to your local modem, you must include any necessary dial modifiers (see your modem User's Guide). Pg 1 of 1
