Ending a Session End an Omega session by selecting Quit from the main menu. This
returns the management agent to an idle, listening state and breaks the
communication link. If connected via a modem, the phone circuit will be
“hung up”; if connected via the network, the virtual circuit will be
disconnected.
NOTE
An Omega session automatically quits if there has been no keyboard entry
after five minutes. This ensures availability for the next management
session. You may change the five-minute timeout value through the
Administration/Omega Options menu.
Managing Remote Hubs
After setting up the first hub, you can connect to other TurboStack
management hubs in your network to set them up. Use the Omega menus
to connect to those hubs.
NOTE
In a non-TCP/IP network, you cannot connect to a remote hub across
network routers.
To manage another hub in the LAN:
1. Select Administration menu from the Omega main menu.
2. Select Connect to a remote hub.
3. Enter the remote hub’s MAC address if this is the first time you are
connecting to it.
In future sessions and after you have configured an IP address or
name, you may also connect to the hub by those parameters.
The Omega main menu on the remote hub appears.
4. Proceed with hub management.
To manage a remote hub management across a WAN:
NOTE

2. Select Administration from the Omega main menu on your hub.
3. Select Connect to a remote hub and enter the target hub’s IP
address.
The Omega main menu on the remote hub appears.
4. Proceed with hub management.
