Rebooting the Remote Node

tions on all ports will be cleared.
To reboot a node under remote control, follow this procedure at the controlling node:

nodes will now be under local control. The local SmartSwitch 1800, and the remote
device (if it has a local video device), will be logged out to the Port Status Display.
From there, the operator must log in to perform menu operations.
If either the controlling or the controlled node detects that the remote control link
failed during a remote session, remote control will be terminated and each terminal's
local main menu will be displayed.
