Connecting to another system

 

After another connection is created, you can perform these steps to connect Operations Console to another system.

When using Operations Console, you can have multiple configurations and connect to several systems at the same time. By connecting to another system as a local console on a network (LAN), a local console directly attached, or a remote console using dial-up support, you can work with another system in your network or at a remote location. Operations Console allows only one directly attached local console configuration, but it allows more than one network or remote configuration.

It is assumed that the additional connection has been created already.

Follow these steps to connect to another system:

1. On the Operations Console Connection window, select the configuration name that you want to connect.

2. From the Connection menu, click Connect.

Notes:

1. If you have a local console that is directly attached to the system and one or more remote consoles configured, disconnect the currently connected local console configuration to make the remote connection to another system's local console directly attached with remote access allowed.
   Operations Console does not support a local console that is directly attached to the system and an outgoing remote console connection to be active at the same time.

2. If the PC you are using has multiple remote console configurations only one can be connected at a time.

3. All supported PC operating systems can connect multiple network configurations at the same time allowing a single PC to be the console for multiple systems or partitions.
