1.1.2 IBM Tivoli Remote Control components
As already mentioned, the IBM Tivoli Remote Control is a client-server
application that helps you take control over workstations on a network using a
specific remote control technology. It could serve as a central location for
monitoring and controlling machines at local or remote locations. The following is
a definition list of the Remote Control components. Their installation is
mandatory except for the Remote Control Proxies and the Remote Control
Gateway, which are only used in environments where components of a Tivoli
Management Region are separated by firewalls:
RC Server The Remote Control Server (RC Server) component is
installed on the TMR Server and on each Managed Node
that will act as an Endpoint Gateway. It manages the
Remote Control session request from a Remote Control
Controller to a Remote Control Target until the
connection between the two machines is successfully
initiated.
RC Tool The Remote Control Tool (RC Tool) is the Remote
Control managed resource in the Tivoli Management
Region and is associated with a Policy Region. This tool
enables remote operations such as remote controlling or
rebooting of a workstation, transferring files and chatting.
Customizing the default Remote Control policies allows
you to change the set of rules that will apply to the RC
Tool within a Policy Region.
RC Policies The Remote Control Policies consist of a set of rules, the
so-called policy methods, that allows to change the
default behavior and graphical appearance of Remote
Control Tools.
RC Controller The Remote Control Controller component is
automatically installed on each Endpoint that initiates a
Remote Control session. It will enable a Tivoli
Administrator to take control of a remote target
workstation to which it is linked over a network. This
component is also known as Controller.
