Display the remote control panel in read-only mode

Displaying the remote control panel in read-only mode allows you to see the remote control panel when you do not have iSeries control.

For example, you can see the progress of an initial program load (IPL) at a server in a remote location. The remote control panel must be installed and configured at the local console. You can display the remote control panel in read-only mode in the following cases:
  • At a local console if the local console user is not in control.
  • At a remote console after the remote console connects to a local console or a local console requests control.
  • At a remote console after the remote console releases control to a local console.

To display the remote control panel, from the Connection menu, click Remote Control Panel.

Displaying the remote control panel in read-only mode allows you to see the remote control panel when you do not have iSeries control.
