Remote Control from an Async PAD Port

Once the ANSI terminal is in

Command

mode

(described on page A-1), follow this

procedure to take remote control of a SmartSwitch 1800:

1. Enter the

Remote Control ID

of the node (specified in its Node Defaults file), fol-

lowed (with no spaces) by the letter

d

and the

Remote Control Password

of the

node (also specified in its Node Defaults file). An example of a correct entry for
a

Remote Control ID

of

1234

and a password of

remote

is

1234dremote

.

2. When the remote node accepts your entry, you will be asked:

Are you a PAD user?

Type

y [Enter]

.

3. When prompted, enter the password of the controlled node. The display at the

controlled node will say:

Under remote control. Keyboard blocked by id = "n."

The

M

ain Menu at the controlling node will act as the Main Menu of the controlled

node, and the displayed remote ID is the ID of the controlled node.

Placing a call through the SmartSwitch 1800 is described in

Appendix A

.

Rebooting the Remote Node

Before rebooting, notify all users of this node, since all connec-
tions on all ports will be cleared.

Press

[.]

(period) to reboot the node. When asked:

Remote reboot the node?

, press

[Y]

.

Exiting Remote Control

Press

[,]

(comma) to exit remote control. When asked:

Stop remote control?

, press

[Y]

.

Node Name="NN"

(where

"NN"

is the

Node Name

configured in

Node Defaults) will be

displayed in the upper right hand corner at the remote node, meaning that the remote
node is now under local control (control at its own screen).

If the controlled node detects that the remote control line failed during a remote
control session, remote control will be terminated and the remote node's local Main
Menu will be displayed on its screen.
