Re: Lan Console system operations

[Roberto José Etcheverry Romero <yggdrasil.raiker@xxxxxxxxx>]

Since the LAN console is provided by the LIC, any time the LIC is not
running you won't have LAN console. So there's always a time during
shutdown and start when you can't see anything and that's why Jim mentions
using the ASMI to see the panel's status codes.
