Model 3088A Series User Manual
5 • Remote console operation
Introduction
The PC user (near-end) may configure and verify status of the remote 3088A (far-end) via a Remote Console
session. The PC user must log onto the 3088A (near-end) unit to establish a remote console session. Once
done, the remote 3088A (far-end) appears as a unit which is locally connected through the console port. All
commands are transmitted over the G.SHDSL link in the EOC channel.

Establishing a Remote Console Session
How to Connect
The following steps are to establish a connection to the remote 3088A (far-end) via Remote Console Session
(RCS):
1.
Connect to the console port of the 3088A (near-end) via Telnet session.
2.
At the password prompt, log in to the near-end Model 3088A.
3.
Ensure that a DSL link is established. You can verify an established DSL link by using the system show sta-
tus command or by checking that the DSL LED is solid green. Upon executing the
show status
com-
mand, the
dsl link state
is shown as
success
if the DSL link is established.
4.
At the command prompt, enter the command
remote console
.
5.
Wait for the message
Console: Remote console connection established
.
– If a DSL link is not established, or for some other reason the 3088A (far-end) does not respond in a rea-
sonable amount of time, the following message appears:
Console: Remote console timed out trying to con-
nect
. Enter the command remote console again.
– If 3088A (Far End) already has an active remote console session open, you will see the message
Console:
Remote console connection request rejected
. This can also happen if the remote 3088A (far-end) has an
established remote console session with the local 3088A (near-end) which has timed out.
6.
Enter the password at the password prompt for the remote console session.
Note
The passwords for a local console session of the 3088A (near-end) and the
remote console session of the 3088A (far-end) should be different for the
purpose of security.
7.
You should now be logged into the remote 3088A (far-end) via the remote console session. The communi-
cation with the remote 3088A (far-end) is essentially the same as having a local console connection.
