On-Line Node Operations

Remote Control

Remote Control from Another FRX/FRM
16-2
Remote control allows an operator to control a remote FRX/FRM via:
a connection through a network into a physical or logical (via frame relay) X.25
port on the node to be controlled, or
an async terminal connected to an async PAD port, through a network, into an
X.25 port on the node to be controlled.
These restrictions apply to the Remote Control operation:
An FRX/FRM cannot be controlled by more than one device at a time.
While remotely controlling one node, you cannot take remote control of another
one.
While a node is under remote control, its keyboard is blocked to prevent local
operation.
A record for the controlled node must be configured in the node that will
