Hay andrew,
I could be using anything depending on the job required. Generally though,
when not using remote desktop, I'm standing right in front of the server.
I suppose, that's definitly some help. At least when I get in, I can get
jfw communicating with a braille display so although not perfect, it's
workable.

Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Using rack consoles.
Hi,
We have a similar configuration here.
If you are using a Dell KVM then you can type the name of the server
into the KVM options screen and hit enter to access the server. I find
this helpful as it means I am not tied up pressing arrow keys for ages
going through the list.
Currently I have not found any way to provide speech output on servers,
especially when the server is on the other side of the room. What sort
of apps are you required to access over the KVM?
Andrew.

Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Using rack consoles.
Hello all,
Have any of you found a way of independently using rack consoles?
The tipical problem is:
You go to a rack, open it, slide out the rack and hit the print screen
or
the control key twice to bring up the menu showing each server. You can
arrow through this menu and select your server. When the enter key is
pressed, you are left at the standard prompt to press control alt
delete.
When you supply the username and password, you can log in, Most of the
servers here have USB ports either on the front or at the back so with a
bit of messing around, I could connect a Braille Display to the one that
I
need to use however my prefered output is speech.
So, the problems are:
I have no way of reading the menu for choosing what server to log on to.
I've no synthesized speech when I launch Jaws on any of the servers.
Of course, I can log in via remote desktop, but this isn't always
possible.
Any suggestions?
Their dell racks and machines ranging from 2650 to 2950's. There are
I'd
guess a minimum of six racks in each server room and all except one of
the
racks are full. So, you can probably see why this causes a problem.

P.S. This is the first of a few questions.
