HP KVM - Can "HP Server Console Switch G2 0x2x16 - AF618A" support remote console view

[mjaveed]

Hello,

I wanted to check if the below HP KVM supports accessing the server remotely,

HP Server Console Switch G2 0x2x16 - AF618A

http://www8.hp.com/us/en/products/rack-console-switches/product-detail.html?oid=4065996#!tab=features

I am able to connect to the device using web browser and can see all the servers listedunder target devices. But when selecting them, there is no option to launch KVM.

Best regards!

The following diagram explains  the remote console View.

I got following information on from  http://www8.hp.com/us/en/products/rack-console-switches/product-detail.html?oid=4065996#!tab=features  , this may help you.
