Abstract
A process for providing access to the console functionality of a computer system in response to console function requests. A console server computer system and a console client computer system are in a network, and console functions requests are included in data packets transmitted from the console client to the console server on a standard network interconnection. A console server computer system operating in an ON state is able to interrupt access to the operating system in response to the receipt of a data packet including a remote reset request, and can respond to console function requests without entering the console state.
