Remote Control from the SmartSwitch 1800

1.Press [A] at the On-Line Node Operations Menu (or [B], [A], [A] from the Main Menu) of the controlling node. When prompted, enter a Remote Control ID and Remote Control Password, configured in Node Defaults ([A], [A] from the Main Menu) on the node you want to control.

2.When prompted to press any key to continue, press [Enter].

3.The remote ID (Node Name ) is displayed as wait during Call Request processing. If a Call Accept is not received in the time specified by the X.25 parameter T21 Incoming Call Timer, the remote ID is displayed as the Node Name configured in Node Defaults on the local node. Once the connection is successful, the displayed remote ID becomes the Remote Control ID specified for the controlled node.

4.When asked: Are you a PAD user?, type n [Enter].

5.When prompted, enter the password of the controlled node. The display at the controlled node will say: Under remote control. Keyboard blocked by id = "n." The Main Menu at the controlling node will act as the Main Menu of the controlled node, and the displayed remote ID is the ID of the controlled node.

Rebooting the Remote Node

Before rebooting, notify all users of this node, since all connec- tions on all ports will be cleared.

To reboot a node under remote control, follow this procedure at the controlling node:

1.Press [F10] .

2.When asked: Remote reboot the node?, press [Y].

3.Press [F9] to return to local control.

Exiting Remote Control

Press [F9] to stop remote control. When asked: Stop remote control?, press [Y]. Both nodes will now be under local control. The local SmartSwitch 1800, and the remote device (if it has a local video device), will be logged out to the Port Status Display. From there, the operator must log in to perform menu operations.

If either the controlling or the controlled node detects that the remote control link failed during a remote session, remote control will be terminated and each terminal's local main menu will be displayed.

1800 specifications

Cabletron Systems, a leading player in network management and telecommunications solutions during the late 20th century, introduced several innovative products that played a crucial role in shaping enterprise networking. Among these were the Cabletron FRX6000, FRX4000, and the FRX1800, which delivered advanced features aimed at enhancing network performance, security, and scalability.

The Cabletron FRX6000 was designed as a robust multi-layer switch, ideal for large-scale enterprise environments. It supported extensive routing capabilities, allowing organizations to manage traffic efficiently even under heavy loads. The FRX6000 boasted high throughput rates and low latency, making it suitable for demanding applications. With support for various network protocols, including IP, IPX, and AppleTalk, its adaptability made it a versatile choice for diverse networking needs. Moreover, security features like VLAN support and Access Control Lists (ACLs) provided enhanced protection against potential threats.

Moving to the FRX4000, this model offered a balance between performance and cost-effectiveness. The FRX4000 maintained many of the essential features of its larger counterpart while catering to medium-sized enterprises. It provided Layer 3 routing and could handle multiple simultaneous connections, ensuring seamless communication across departments. The modular design allowed for easy upgrades, enabling businesses to expand their network infrastructure without significant overhauls. This made the FRX4000 an attractive option for organizations looking to optimize their network investments.

Lastly, the FRX1800, designed for small to medium businesses, focused on simplicity and ease of use while still incorporating powerful network management capabilities. Its user-friendly interface made it accessible for organizations lacking extensive IT resources. The FRX1800 provided essential functionalities such as Integrated Layer 2 switching and routing, network monitoring, and basic security features, ensuring that even smaller companies could maintain efficient, reliable networking without overwhelming complexity.

All three models utilized advanced technologies, including a high bandwidth backbone and state-of-the-art switching architecture, to enable fast and reliable data transfer. They also supported Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms, allowing businesses to prioritize critical applications and ensure consistent performance across the network.

In summary, the Cabletron FRX6000, FRX4000, and FRX1800 were pivotal in enhancing network capabilities, providing organizations with scalable, secure, and high-performance options tailored to their specific needs.
