Login

After a connection has been established using one of the management
applications described above, and the call has been validated by pressing Enter
three times, IRC responds by displaying a login prompt, as shown in
Figure 3-8.

Figure 3-8. Remote Console displays login prompt after successful call identification

To log in to IRC:

1. Enter a valid username, then press Enter.

2. Enter a valid password, then press Enter.

If dial-back security is not turned on for your login and you have entered a
valid username and password, you are successfully logged into the Integrated
Remote Console application.
