This command displays the login name and operating mode (Main Menu, command, and so on) of the connected console
client users, and the port on which they are connected. For the LAN and WEB console clients the remote IP address is also
displayed.
If the local console client user did not originate the MP command interface session, there is always one default user listed for
the local serial port: local user i. If the local console operator types
CTRL+B, then the login name that the local operator used
is displayed instead.
