Order of Precedence of User Interfaces
The order of precedence of the three UIs used with the Interface Manager card is
as follows:
1. Serial
2. Telnet
3. Command View TL
Only one session can be open at a time (serial, Telnet, or Command View TL).
However, it is possible to have multiple Command View TL GUI clients open
simultaneously because these clients all share in the same single session that is
running on the management station. If a user attempts to open a session when
another session of higher priority is currently open, the system will display an
error message and the lower priority session will not start. If a user attempts to
open a session when another session of lower priority is currently open, the
system warns the user that another session is currently open and asks if it is OK to
terminate the lower priority session.
Caution: While it is possible for an administrator to terminate other sessions
by opening a serial or Telnet session, this is not recommended. If, for example,
someone is performing a firmware upgrade using a Command View TL GUI
client and that session is terminated prematurely, the firmware upgrade would
fail and could cause the device being upgraded to require physical repair.
