7.1 ESTABLISHING A REMOTE CONSOLE SESSION

How to Connect

The following steps are to establish a connection to the remote 3088 (far- end) via Remote Console Session (RCS):

1.Configure a terminal emulation program (e.g., Hyperterminal) on PC (near-end) for 19.2 kbps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control. Connect it to the RS-232 console port of the 3088 (near- end).

2.At the password prompt, log in to the near-end Model 3088.

3.Ensure that a DSL link is established. You can verify an established DSL link by using the system show status command or by checking that the DSL LED is solid green. Upon executing the show status command, the dsl link state is shown as success if the DSL link is established.

4.At the command prompt, enter the command remote console.

5.Wait for the message Console: Remote console connection established.

—If a DSL link is not established, or for some other reason the 3088 (far-end) does not respond in a reasonable amount of time, the following message appears: Console: Remote console timed out trying to connect. Enter the command remote console again.
