RE: Powering up a 520 (E4A)

A little late to the discussion, but thought it worth adding that we have defined three [3] consoles in SST. One for me (primary, if you will), one for my boss (for when I'm on vacation, like last week), and a spare. You can actually define as many as you want/need, which is probably a good idea: This is Windows after all.

As Kirk, I think, mentioned only one person can be the console at a time; sounds obvious, but some people still ask. Plus, if one PC dies while in Console-mode, it's a piece of cake for another LAN console to take over. We "test" this almost every night; I'll start our end-of-day process, and my boss will take it over to finish up.

Yes, "LAN Console" is what I'm talking about. Thanks. And fortunately,
it should be no trouble to run it initially on the WinDoze box where
it's currently expected to be, so long as it doesn't care how the
Ethernet lines pass through the switch and the building wiring.
