Rcon stands for Remote Control and is the direct way to control a server
through the console.
Before you can send commands to a server, you first need to execute the following in the console:rcon_password PASSWORD
The Rcon password is set in Basic mode in the Rcon settings
or in Advanced mode it is located in the server.cfg.
Important: Commands to the server usually need to be prefixed with rcon,
for example rcon changelevel de_inferno.
Otherwise, the client will try to execute the command locally, which
will fail.
