Status messages when configuration is running normally

The following status messages assist you in identifying whether or not you have connection problems.

These status messages indicate that you do not have connection problems:

Connecting
This appears at the remote console during an initial connection to the local console.
Connecting console or Connecting remote control panel
This status message is the normal status while the console is making the initial connection to an iSeries™ server. If it shows for more than a couple of minutes, see Connecting console in the list of status messages that indicate connection problems.
Pending authorization
This appears during an initial connection to an iSeries server when the Service Device sign-on window appears. This status remains until a first user (either at a local console or remote console) signs on successfully. After the user signs on successfully, the sign-on window and this status will not appear to other dial-in users as long as the local console remains connected to the server. A local console over a network (LAN) will always post the LAN Service Device Sign-on window the first time a connection is made. Subsequent connections to the same server will not re-prompt the user.
Connected
This appears at the local console after an initial connection to the iSeries server is completed (the user signed on successfully to Operations Console). This status also appears at the remote console when a connection to the local console is completed.
Disconnecting
This appears at the local console when the local console user disconnects from an iSeries server and the PC is disconnecting the connection. This status would appear at the remote console when the remote console user disconnects from the local console and the PC is disconnecting the connection.
Disconnected
This appears at the local console after the local console user disconnected from an iSeries server and the PC is no longer communicating with the server.
Not connected to local console
This appears at the remote console when the PC is not connected to the local console.
