Model 3088A Series Getting Started Guide 5 • Remote console operation
The response upon logging out of the remote console session with the command logout is Console: Remote con-
sole connection lost. The following is what is displayed upon a user’s logging out of a remote console session after
logging in.

The timeout period is a fixed, non-configurable parameter of 5 minutes. If the remote 3088A (far-end) has
received no command within 5 minutes, it automatically terminates the RCS. Once the RCS is terminated, the
PC (far-end) can establish a local console session if desired. However if the PC (near-end) wishes to re-establish
a RCS, it is able to do so whether or not the PC (far-end) is in an active local session, because the RCS has pri-
ority over a local console session. If the PC (near-end) establishes an RCS while the PC (far-end) is on a local
session, the PC (far-end) is kicked off.
Differences in Local and Remote Control Session Behavior
Since the remote console session communication occurs over the G.SHDSL link’s EOC channel, some com-
mands via the RCS have unusual effects.

• dsl set loopback lal: Do not issue this command over the RCS to the far-end 3088A. If the far-end goes
into Local Analog Loopback (LAL), the near-end and far-end 3088A NTUs can no longer communicate
over the RCS.
Do not issue this command to a far-end unit. If you were to do
so, the near-end 3088A would no longer be able to communi-
cate with the far-end 3088A.
