On-line Operations 18-3
Remote Control via an Async PAD Port
Once the ANSI terminal is in
Command
mode (described on page A-1 ), follow this
procedure to take remote control of an FRX4000/6000:
1. Enter the
Remote Control ID
of the node (specified in its Node Defaults file), fol-
lowed (with no spaces) by the letter
d
and the
Remote Control Pwd (Password)
of
the node (also specified in its Node Defaults file). An example of a correct entry
for a
Remote Control ID
of
1234
and a password of
remote
is
1234dremote
.
2. When the remote node accepts your entry, you will be asked:
Are you a PAD user?
Type
y [Enter]
.
3. 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
M
ain 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.
Placing a call through the FRX4000/6000 is described in Appendix A .
Rebooting the Remote Node
Before rebooting, notify all users of this node, since all connec-
tions on all ports will be cleared.
Press
[.]
(period) to reboot the node. When asked:
Remote reboot the node?
, press
[Y]
.
Exiting Remote Control
Press
[,]
(comma) to exit remote control. When asked:
Stop remote control?
, press
[Y]
.
Node Name="NN"
(where
"NN"
is the
Node Name
configured in Node Defaults) will be
displayed in the upper right hand corner at the remote node, meaning that the remote
node is now under local control (control at its own screen).
If the controlled node detects that the remote control line failed during a remote
control session, remote control will be terminated and the remote node's local Main
Menu will be displayed on its screen.
