Remote access to the HMC can be used with WebSM.

FAQ 16: What is WebSM?
WebSM (Web Based System Manager) is a tool that provides a complete set of 
Web-based system management interfaces for iSeries family systems. It enables 
administration of a single or multiple iSeries family systems from the Hardware 
Management Console (HMC) or a client PC with access to the same network as the 
HMC. This tool is included with the HMC.

Hope this helps,
