Console

The console interface is designed to provide a comprehensive control and monitoring solution for your deployment needs. It consists of several key components:

Overview of the Console

This section provides a snapshot of the entire console, giving you a quick overview of the available features and their layout.

Head-up Display

The head-up display offers real-time information about the current status and any connected Deployment Media. To view details about the licenses and source images on the connected Deployment Media, click the [i] button.

• Wake on LAN
  Sends magic packets to the target client PCs for deployment of a source image.

  When multiple target client PCs are listed, the time interval for sending magic packets is set to three seconds. When a computer fails in PXE boot, please shut-down the PC and click on this [Wake on LAN] button or specify a computer and run [Wake on LAN] from the right-click menu.

  Depending on the status of the ImageCast client computer, it may not be able to boot up the computer by using Wake on LAN. In this case, power on the client computer.

• PXE Deploy Click this button. When PXE Deploy is ready, this button becomes active. This button can be inactivated by clicking the button again while it’s active.

  The combined use of PXE Deploy and Wake on LAN facilitates the management of target computers for Deployment.
  Ex :
  Set the target computer to perform PXE startup during Wake on LAN, in addition to the startup order when the power button is pressed (depending on the computers specifications, this setting may not be configured). When maintenance is required on a target computer, running Wake on LAN from the product, PXE boots the ImageCast client and redeploy the image to all computers in the deployment target list at once.
