ASF 2.0 example and use case	6
Example	6
1. The Console attempts to retrieve client status from ASF. The Console first authenticates both clients and establishes session IDs.	6
2. The Console then sends capability requests to the clients to determine remote capabilities. Both clients report back that they are capable of all RMCP events, and the Console populates remote control options for those clients for Administrator use.	6
3. The Console now needs to determine the state of the clients and sends System State requests. Both clients report back that they are currently in S4 (Hibernate).	6
4. The Console now knows it needs to wake the systems to update the software, so it sends RMCP Power Up commands to the clients, and both clients respond that they received the request (RMCP ACK).	6
5. At this point, the Console waits for the Console’s Agent Utility to report in and connect to the console for the software update.	6
6. The Console then sends Client B an RMCP Power Reset command, hence Client B powers off and powers back on five seconds later....	6
