Transferring
control
between
a
local
console
in
control
and
a
remote
console
This
example
shows
interactions
between
a
local
console
directly
attached
with
remote
access
allowed
that
has
System
i
control
and
a
remote
console.
It
illustrates
how
control
is
transferred
between
the
local
console
and
the
remote
console
when
the
remote
console
requests
control.
These
interactions
show
the
expected
behavior
from
the
local
console
and
remote
console
users:
1.
The
local
console
user
has
control
of
a
system.
At
this
time,
the
local
console
user
must
handle
all
incoming
control
requests.
2.
When
a
remote
console
requests
control,
the
local
console
user
decides
whether
he
grants
or
refuses
control
to
the
requester.
If
the
local
console
user
grants
control,
control
is
granted
to
the
requester.
If
the
local
console
user
refuses
control
to
the
requester,
the
local
console
user
continues
to
have
control.
Transferring
control
between
a
local
console
not
in
control
and
remote
consoles
This
example
shows
interactions
between
a
local
console
directly
attached
with
remote
access
allowed
that
does
not
have
System
i
control
and
remote
consoles
requesting
control.
It
illustrates
how
control
transfer
occurs
when
no
user
has
control
and
a
remote
console
requests
control.
These
interactions
show
the
expected
behavior
from
the
local
console
and
remote
console
users:
v
No
user
has
control
of
a
system.
Therefore,
SERVER
appears
in
the
Current
User
field,
and
incoming
control
requests
are
automatically
granted.
v
When
a
remote
console
requests
control,
control
will
be
granted
to
the
remote
console.

Control
of
your
system
means
having
an
active
console
at
a
PC.
Using
the
Properties
page
On
the
Properties
page,
you
can
find
information
about
the
system
associated
with
the
connected
configuration
and
make
changes
to
an
existing
configuration.
If
the
partition
number
is
showing
****
then
there
is
a
configuration
error
associated
with
the
configured
connection.
The
error
may
be
wrong
partition
ID
or
possibly
even
wrong
service
host
name
IP
address.
The
General
tab
contains
information
about
the
system
that
you
are
connected
to.
The
Log
Directory
field
shows
the
path
to
the
Operations
Console
data
logs
and
is
the
only
field
that
you
are
allowed
to
edit.
The
Configuration
tab
will
contain
options
that
actually
change
what
functions
are
used
and
how
the
configuration
connects.
Options
not
available
for
the
associated
configuration
will
be
greyed
out.
The
remote
console
does
not
have
a
Configuration
tab.
To
make
changes
to
the
remote
console,
you
must
first
delete
and
then
re-create
the
remote
console
connection.
Answer
BOOTP
is
the
option
that
allows
the
system
administrator
to
determine
which
configuration
for
a
given
PC
supplies
the
IP
data
to
the
system.
New
systems
or
logical
partitions
that
attempt
to
use
a
local
console
on
a
network
might
be
using
BOOTP.
If
more
than
one
PC
or
configuration
is
allowed
to
supply
the
data,
the
first
PC
to
respond
to
the
broadcast
packet
supplies
this
data.
Controlling
which
PC
supplies
this
data
might
allow
the
administrator
additional
flexibility.
An
IP
address
may
be
supplied
for
the
console
when
using
a
directly
attached
local
console
and
directly
attached
local
console
with
remote
support.
This
is
to
provide
the
user
with
a
convenient
method
when
the
default
address
is
already
in
use
on
the
PC.
