Connect a remote console to a local console by modem

Connecting a remote console to a local console with remote support allows the
remote console to communicate to a server through the local console. The remote
console user must have dial-in authority at the local console. You need the
authority so the operating system at the local console allows the dial-in connection
between the PCs.
Perform the following steps to connect the remote console to the local console
directly attached with remote access allowed:
1. Open Operations Console to start the connection:

from Pending Authorization to Connected.
