Remote Diagnostic Management

RDM 5.1

Remote Diagnostic Management ( RDM ) is a network management tool that utilizes modems and 

telephone system to manage a server from a remote station. It allows the administrator to remotely control

the managed server when NOS ( Network Operation System ) is not available. There are two cases that

NOS is not available:POST ( Power On Self Test ) and NOS crashes. When POST, RDM can provide a 

console redirection feature for remote administrator. And, if the NOS hangs up, ROM can automatically

reboot the server or allow the administrator to control the server from remote station. This RDM capability

bridges the distance barrier in fixing server problems and reduces down time due to system failure.
