How to configure remote device management setting on RX-RDP, RX420(RDP), RX300 and LEAF OS devices?

Please refer to RX-RDP, RX420(RDP), RX300 and LEAF OS user configuration guide for additional details:  https://support.ncomputing.com/portal/kb/articles/rx300-rx-rdp-user-configuration-guide

The Management Setup GUI section allows configuration of remote device management options. An administrator can remotely configure the RX300 or RX-RDP device settings using vSpace Console or the PMC device management system. It is also possible to remotely shadow the device GUI and control it in that way.

Enabling vSpace Console management

Enabling vSpace Console Management

To enable device management from vSpace Console the Enable vSpace Console management check-box needs to be selected.

Note: The vSpace Console can only manage a subset of RX300 settings, mainly settings which are directly related to vSpace connections.

Enabling PMC management

To enable device management from the PMC device management system the Enable PMC management check-box needs to be selected.

The RX-RDP, RX420, RX300 and LEAF OS devices can automatically discover the URL address of the PMC server when the Automatically discover PMC address radio-button is selected. To automate the PMC server discovery the DHCP option 207 can be used. This DHCP option should provide a string value containing the URL in form of ‘https://<PMC_address>’, where <PMC_address> must be replaced with the proper FQDN, hostname, or IP address of the PMC virtual appliance.


The address of PMC appliance can also be specified manually by selecting the Use following PMC address radio-button:


The PMC server URL can be specified in simplified or complete form. When a simplified URL will be specified then the device will expand it to create a complete one, e.g.:

Specified PMC URL

Expanded (complete) PMC URL

pmc

https://pmc/

pmc.company.local

https://pmc.company.local/

192.168.15.50

https://192.168.15.50/

https://pmc.company.local/

https://pmc.company.local/

https://51.43.123.87:8443/

https://51.43.123.87:8443/

 

The same expansion rules apply to PMC URLs obtained through DHCP option 207.
