What can happen for a failure to appear in a remote state hearing related to a requirement that you not have contact with the plaintiff?

Whenever you are summoned to appear before a court, regardless of its location, you are advised to appear in person or to at least have an attorney appear on your behalf. Depending on the nature of the case, a warrant for your arrest (called a "bench warrant") can be issued by the judge. If that happens, you will be arrested if a police officer has reason to run your ID through his computer system, such as in the case of a traffic stop.
From the wording of your question, it SOUNDS like someone requested a Restraining Order (also known as a Protective Order) against you. That person is known as the "petitioner". When a petitioner asks the court for protection, a hearing date is automatically scheduled to determine whether the person has a good enough reason for the court to grant an order of protection. When the respondent (the person who is allegedly frightening or harming the petitioner) fails to appear in court at the time of the hearing, the court will assume that the petitioner has cause for an order of protection, and s/he will be granted an order by default. In other words, the petitioner "wins", and the respondent "loses".
This over-simplifies the process, but I think it answers your question. The bottom line is: ALWAYS GO TO COURT OR HAVE A LAWYER GO FOR YOU WHEN YOU ARE SUMMONED TO APPEAR.
