On-Line Node Operations
Remote Control
Remote control allows an operator to control a remote FRX/FRM via:
●
a connection through a network into a physical or logical (via frame relay) X.25
port on the node to be controlled, or
●
an async terminal connected to an async PAD port, through a network, into an
X.25 port on the node to be controlled.
These restrictions apply to the Remote Control operation:
●
An FRX/FRM cannot be controlled by more than one device at a time.
●
While remotely controlling one node, you cannot take remote control of another
one.
●
While a node is under remote control, its keyboard is blocked to prevent local
operation.
A
Subscriber ID
record for the controlled node must be configured in the node that will
be at the controlling end. The
Subscriber ID
in this record must be the
Remote Control
ID
in the
Node Defaults
record of the node to be controlled. The
1st Routing Path
in the
Subscriber record must be the local port in the controlling node through which the
remote connection will be made.
Remote Control from Another FRX/FRM
1. Press [A] at the On-Line Node Operations Menu (or [B], [A], [A] from the Main
Menu) of the controlling node. When prompted, enter a Remote Control ID and
Remote Control ID Password , configured in Node Defaults ( [A], [A] from the Main
Menu, or see Chapter 3) on the node you want to control.
2. When prompted to press any key to continue, press [Enter] .
3. The remote ID ( Node Name ) is displayed as wait during Call Request processing.
If a Call Accept is not received in the time specified by the X.25 parameter
Incoming Call Timeout , the remote ID is displayed as the Node Name configured
in Node Defaults on the local node. Once the connection is successful, the dis-
played remote ID becomes the Remote Control ID specified for the controlled
node.
4. When asked: Are you a PAD user? , type n [Enter] .
5. When prompted, enter the password of the controlled node. The display at the
controlled node will say: Under remote control. Keyboard blocked by id = "n." The
Main Menu at the controlling node will act as the Main Menu of the controlled
node, and the displayed remote ID is the ID of the controlled node.
