2.5.1 Configuring the LAN controller
Before you can establish connection to the ASMB4-iKVM/ASMB4-SOL PLUS
board, you must configure the LAN port for server management used by the
remote server to connect to the local/central server.
To configure the LAN port of the remote server:
1. Run the ASMC4 utility from the support CD following the instructions in the
previous section.
2. Set IP source:
(a) Type asmc4 -bmc_ip_source 1 if you want to set a static IP address.
(b) Type asmc4 -bmc_ip_source 2 if you want to get IP from DHCP server.
3. Type asmc4 -bmc_ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, then press <Enter> to assign any IP
address to the remote server LAN port (if necessary). The screen displays the
request and response buffer. Write the remote server IP address in a piece of
paper for reference.
c:\>asmc4 -bmc_ip 10.10.10.243

When finished, the utility returns to the DOS prompt.
Make sure that the assigned IP address for both remote and local/central
servers are in the same subnet. You can use the network settings utility in your
OS to check.

5. Restart the remote server, enter the BIOS setup, then boot from the hard disk
drive.
