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.
