The response upon logging out of the remote console session with the command logout is Console: Remote con- sole connection lost. The following is what is displayed upon a user’s logging out of a remote console session after logging in.

>remote console

Console: Remote console connection established.

password: ******

> logout

Console: Remote console connection lost.

The timeout period is a fixed, non-configurable parameter of 5 minutes. If the remote 3088A (far-end) has received no command within 5 minutes, it automatically terminates the RCS. Once the RCS is terminated, the PC (far-end) can establish a local console session if desired. However if the PC (near-end) wishes to re-establish a RCS, it is able to do so whether or not the PC (far-end) is in an active local session, because the RCS has pri- ority over a local console session. If the PC (near-end) establishes an RCS while the PC (far-end) is on a local session, the PC (far-end) is kicked off.

Differences in Local and Remote Control Session Behavior

Since the remote console session communication occurs over the G.SHDSL link’s EOC channel, some com- mands via the RCS have unusual effects.

dsl set loopback lal: Do not issue this command over the RCS to the far-end 3088A. If the far-end goes into Local Analog Loopback (LAL), the near-end and far-end 3088A NTUs can no longer communicate over the RCS.

Do not issue this command to a far-end unit. If you were to do so, the near-end 3088A would no longer be able to communi- cate with the far-end 3088A.
