Logging into a Remote Controller
Purpose
To initiate communication with a remote controller.
Performance
Only one buswide XI581/2 (local or remote) can be logged onto a controller at any
one time. However, there is no restriction as to the total number of buswide XI581/2
used on the same system bus. When XBS PCs are also on the bus, there may be
up to four XBS PCs on the same bus and one buswide XI581/2 that is in remote
access at the same time.
All XI581/2 are of equal priority, so that whichever device signs on first gains access
to a controller and no other device (local or remote) can sign on to the same con-
troller during this time.
Procedure
1.
Sign on to the XI581/2 at the desired user level (1, 2, or 3). See section "Level
2/3 Password Entry" (page 16) if you do not know how.
