Control Tasks Between Users - IBM E Server i Series Manual

If you selected Start connection when Operations Console starts when you
configured the remote console, the remote console starts the connection to the
local console automatically.
2. If you did not select Start connection when Operations Console starts, you
need to start the connection to the local console as follows:
a. Select the configuration name.
b. From the Connection menu, click Connect.
3. If the User Logon window appears, sign on so the operating system at the local
console checks whether you are a user with dial-in authority. After you sign on
successfully, the connection status shows Connected.
Note: If you do not sign on in approximately a minute, Dial-up Networking
ends the connection.
4. If the Service Device Sign-on window appears, sign on using your service tools
user ID and password.
5. If you installed and configured the remote control panel, confirm that it
appears. If it does not appear, see Remote console through dial-up fails to
connect to local console in the troubleshooting topic. If it appears, the remote
control panel is in read-only mode, and you do not have iSeries control at the
remote console. To obtain control, you have to Request it of the local console.
If you encounter other connection problems, see Troubleshoot Operations Console
connections to find a possible solution.
