Connecting
a
local
console
on
a
network
(LAN)
to
a
system
enables
you

have
an
active
console
and
a
functional
remote

that
is
currently
interacting
with
the

can
use
a
functional
remote
control
panel
to
perform
most
control
panel
functions
(depending
on
the
partition
to
which
you
are
connected)
as
if
you
were
at
the
system.
