Server Remote Control
Koutsianopoulos Konstantinos
Abstract
The aim of the diploma thesis was to develop a prototype remote computer control system aiming at complete Server control in cases where access to the BIOS is necessary, the operating system is unresponsive, or the intervention in the server with the addition of hardware (internal) or software is not desirable. In particular, a prototype computer remote control system was designed and built, the main component of which is the remote control host system which is responsible for transmitting the image from the server to the end-user and simultaneously transferring the activity of the user back to the computer under control. The design was done at both software and hardware level using appropriate tools (e.g. Microsoft Visual Studio - software and Altium Designer - PCB Layouts). The original system supports an image size of 640 x 480 pixels with a transmission rate of less than 4 fps as well as end-user to server interaction using a keyboard. Finally, the generality of the system architecture allows it to be implemented in a number of different ways (e.g.image acquisition mode, or Internet protocols) according to the needs of each application.
