Releasing control at the remote console

 

Releasing System i™ control at the remote console allows control to go back to the state that the local console was in when the first remote console requested control.

For example, if the local console granted control to the first requesting remote console, releasing control at the remote console allows the local console to regain control. However, if control was automatically granted to the first requesting remote console, releasing control at the remote console allows the next requester to automatically be granted control.

To release control at the remote console, do the following:

1. Select the configuration name from the Operations Console Connection Window.

2. From the Connection menu, click Release Control. The remote control panel window (if present) and the console close.

   After you release control at the remote console, you can end the remote console connection to the local console. To end the connection, follow these steps:

   1. Select the configuration name.

   2. From the Connection menu, click Disconnect. The connection status shows Disconnecting.

   3. Wait until the status shows Not connected to local console.
