sole connection lost. The following is what is displayed upon a user’s logging out of a remote console session after
logging in.

The timeout period is a fixed, non-configurable parameter of 5 minutes. If the remote 3088 (far-end) has
received no command within 5 minutes, it automatically terminates the RCS. Once the RCS is terminated, the
PC (far-end) can establish a local console session if desired. However if the PC (near-end) wishes to re-establish
a RCS, it is able to do so whether or not the PC (far-end) is in an active local session, because the RCS has pri-
ority over a local console session. If the PC (near-end) establishes an RCS while the PC (far-end) is on a local
session, the PC (far-end) is kicked off.
Differences in Local and Remote Control Session Behavior
Since the remote console session communication occurs over the G.SHDSL link’s EOC channel, some com-
mands via the RCS have unusual effects.
• system upgrade: Do not issue this command via an RCS. A system upgrade must be done via the local con-
sole connection. If you should accidentally issue this command over an RCS, the remote 3088 (far-end)
waits indefinitely for input (which is the system upgrade image) from the local console port of the 3088
(far-end). If this command is entered, 3088 (Far End) will have to be power-cycled.
