Multiple local PC consoles on a network

Set up multiple local PC consoles on the network to manage the server

When a workstation is already a console and another local console on a network attempts to become the console, the connection will be successful and the user will be presented with the Console Information Status screen.

This screen will inform the user which device is currently the console based on the last successful connection. Many connections of this type can be connected but only one can be the active console. Also, leaving the newly connected PC in this state will not allow the console activities to be automatically transferred to this PC. In this case you have two choices.

Disconnect the connection using the Operations Console window. To disconnect the connection, follow these steps:
1. Select the connection name you want to disconnect.
2. Click Connection > Disconnect.
Disconnect the emulator session. To disconnect the emulator, follow these steps:
1. In the emulator window, click Communication.
2. Select Disconnect.

If no device is acting as the console the next time a connection is made, either through Operations Console or the emulator, this PC will become the console. It is up to the users to determine whether or not this method is the correct way to manage console activities.
