Remote Control from an Async PAD Port
Once the ANSI terminal is in Command mode (described on page A-1), follow this
procedure to take remote control of a SmartSwitch 1800:
1. Enter the Remote Control ID of the node (specified in its Node Defaults file), fol-
lowed (with no spaces) by the letter d and the Remote Control Password of the
node (also specified in its Node Defaults file). An example of a correct entry for
a Remote Control ID of 1234 and a password of remote is 1234dremote.
2. When the remote node accep ts your en try, yo u will be asked: Are you a PAD user?
Type y [Enter].
3. When prompted, enter the password of the controlled node. The display at the
controlled node will s ay: 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.
Placing a call through the SmartSwitch 1800 is described in Append ix A.

Node Name="NN" (where "NN" is the
Node N a m e configured i n Node Defaults) will be

node is now under local control (control at its own screen).
If the controlled node detects that the remote control line failed during a remote
control session, remote control will be terminated and the remote node's local Main
Menu wi ll be di s pl ayed on its scr ee n .
