== Remote Console Capabilities ==
The console carrier requester command, '''ccr''', sets up a logical connection between your ULTRIX node and the console carrier server on a remote node.
The '''ccr''' command enables a terminal to act as the console for a remote unattended node.
For example, your terminal can act as the console for the DECserver 100 terminal server and its resident software.
You can use the '''ccr''' command to force a crash if a server node becomes unresponsive.
To determine how to force a crash, see the documentation for the respective server product.

== The '''ccr''' Command ==
When you use the '''ccr''' command, the remote console carrier server is in one of these states:
* Loaded and unreserved
* Loaded and reserved
* Not loaded
If the console carrier server is loaded and unreserved, issuing the '''ccr''' command reserves it, and this message appears on your terminal:

ccr: Remote console reserved

If the console carrier server is loaded and reserved by another user, the following message appears on your terminal:

ccr: Remote console already in use

If the console carrier server is not loaded, the '''ccr''' command loads the server.
To load a server, an ULTRIX node must have the console
carrier server image file and its loader file present in the directory '''/usr/lib/dnet'''.
When the server is loaded, the '''ccr''' command attempts to reserve the console and to proceed as previously described.

== Requirements of the '''ccr''' Command ==
To use the '''ccr''' command, these requirements must be met:
* The host node (your ULTRIX node) and the remote node must be on the same Ethernet.
* The console carrier server image must be located in '''/usr/lib/dnet''' on the ULTRIX node.
* The node data base must contain these definitions, or they must be specified in the '''ccr''' command line:
** The service circuit to the target node
** The Ethernet hardware address of the target node
** The service password needed to gain access to the target node
You can define an entry in the node data base with the '''addnode''' command.
