Sun Remote System Control (RSC) Installation Guide

RSC Ethernet Port

The RSC Ethernet port, when connected to your local Ethernet, is most useful for accessing RSC from within your company network. Since RSC uses standard TCP/IP protocols, you can connect to RSC remotely using any standard technology that allows remote TCP/IP connections to your network, such as a pool of modems attached to a PPP server.

Although only four RSC user accounts are available, Solaris users on the company Ethernet can connect to any node on the network that has RSC client software installed, set the DISPLAY environment variable to their display, log in to RSC, and use the RSC GUI. In addition, any user who has superuser privileges on the server can log in and use the rscadm utility to change RSC configuration. Clients running the Windows operating system require client software to run the RSC GUI.
