Connecting to the 68K Monitor

One 68K
Monitor At-A-

While any application running in the system can activate the 68K Monitor, only one
instance of the monitor can be active at any one time.

If a second application attempts to start the 68K Monitor, it will refuse the second
application’s request.

Terminating a
68K Monitor
TELNET Session

The 68K Monitor will detect a loss of connection in a TELNET session and will end
the monitor session, allowing a new connection to be established.

The 68K Monitor itself never terminates or initiates a TELNET session. Whatever
process starts the 68K Monitor handles this functionality.

Auto-Logout
Timer

Since only one 68K Monitor session is allowed at a time, it automatically terminates
a session if no input is received for 5 minutes (default) or after a user-programmed
interval.
Refer to: Page 3-4, AL - Change Auto-logout Timer for details about how this timer

can be changed.
