Terminal-Server Administrative Tasks
Starting remote management sessions
The argument to the Remote command is the name of the remote station. It must match the
value of a Station parameter in a Connection profile that allows outgoing MP+ calls or the
user-id
at the start of a RADIUS profile set up for outgoing calls.
Note:
A remote management session can time out because the traffic it generates does not
reset the idle-timer. Therefore, the Idle parameter in the Connection profile at both the calling
and answering ends of the connection should be disabled during a remote management session
and restored just before exiting. Remote management works best at higher terminal speeds.
At the beginning of a remote management session, you have privileges set by the default
Security profile at the remote end of the connection. To activate administrative privileges on
the remote station, activate the appropriate remote Security profile by using the DO Password
command (as described in “Activating administrative permissions” on page 2-1).
The MAX unit generates an error message for any condition that causes the test to terminate
before sending the full number of packets. The following error messages can appear:
Message
Explanation
not authorized
Your current security privileges are insufficient for beginning a remote
management session. To assign yourself the required privileges, log in
with the DO Password command to a Security profile whose Edit Sys-
tem parameter is set to
Yes
.
cannot find
profile for
<station>
The MAX could not locate a local Connection profile containing a Sta-
tion parameter whose value matched <station>.
profile for
<station> does
not specify MPP
The local Connection profile containing a Station value equal to
<station> did not contain
Encaps=MPP
.
cannot estab-
lish connec-
tion for
<station>
The MAX located a local Connection profile containing the proper
Station and Encaps settings, but it could not complete the connection
to the remote station.
<station> did
not negotiate
MPP
The remote station did not negotiate an MP+ connection. This error
occurs most often when the remote station does not support MP+, but
does support PPP.
far end does
not support
remote manage-
ment
The remote station is running a version of MP+ that does not support
remote management.
management
session failed
A temporary condition, such as premature termination of the connec-
tion, caused the management session to fail.
far end
rejected ses-
sion
The remote station was configured to reject remote management; its
Remote Mgmt parameter was set to
No
in the System profile.
