During normal operation of the CVSG-VE Location, when a monitor/keyboard is attached to the CVSG-VE Location, the main serial console of the virtual host on the CVSG-VE Location will be displayed by default. Pressing Alt-F1 will always return you to the main serial console of the virtual host. Alt-F2 through Alt-F7 are used for the additional serial consoles of the virtual host (like most Linux machines, the virtual host has six serial consoles).

In order to access the serial console for the Corente Virtual Services Gateway Software on the CVSG-VE Location, and view the current status of operations for the gateway, you must use the vmcon command from the host operating system.
