ConsoleWorks is a Web-based application that manages consoles in a
GS80/160/320 system. A console can be a partition or the entire system if it is
not partitioned. The SMC system administrator determines the consoles to
which a user has access and the level of that access. The level of access is
indicated by a profile; each user is associated with one or more profiles.

ConsoleWorks provides access to each console directly from the SMC. In
addition, KEA! can be used with ConsoleWorks to display console activity.
Alternatively, you can use a supported Web browser to access each console
remotely from a workstation connected to the private LAN or to the corporate
network. The output from each console is logged to a file for future viewing.
