Displaying the remote control panel in read-only mode

 

If you have the remote control panel installed and configured at the local console, you can display the remote control panel in read-only mode. This allows you to see the remote control panel when you do not have System i™ control. For example, you can see the progress of an initial program load (IPL) at a system in a remote location. You can display the remote control panel in read-only mode in the following cases:

• At a local console if the local console user is not in control.

• At a remote console after the remote console connects to a local console or a local console requests control.

• At a remote console after the remote console releases control to a local console.

To display the remote control panel, from the Connection menu, click Remote Control Panel. Displaying the remote control panel in read-only mode allows you to see the remote control panel when you do not have System i control.
