Connectrix EC-1100 System User Guide
Connectrix Manager Administration
Managing Remote Access to the Service Processor
Users at the Connectrix service processor can open the Connectrix
Manager and the Product Managers loaded on the service processor.
In addition, users at remote workstations can access the same
Connectrix service processor if the workstations meet minimum
hardware and software requirements and contain the Connectrix
Manager with applicable Product Managers.
Workstations must also be configured to connect with the Connectrix
service processor over a network connection.
In EC-1100 configurations, you have several choices for local and
remote connections to best fit your security and remote access needs.
You can choose from the following configurations:
•
Local Ethernet connection and modem for call-home operation
•
Local Ethernet connection and no modem
•
Data center Ethernet connection and modem for call-home
operation
•
Data center Ethernet connection and no modem
A local Ethernet connection is between the data center network and
the EC-1100 hub. This connection should be made only if the data
center wants access to the MIBs that are local to the ED-1032. This is
not recommended, since the FibreAlliance MIB is a richer MIB.
Data center Ethernet refers to a connection that is made from the Data
Center Ethernet directly into the Connectrix Service Processor's
10/100 Ethernet card. (Refer to Figure 1-2 on page 1-4.) This is the
recommended configuration and provides a high-speed access for the
client stations and users of the FibreAlliance MIB.
The modem in the EC-1100 is for the call-home feature or remote access by
service personnel only. Users of the Connectrix service processor should not
use the modem as a remote connection. The Connectrix will be unable to
phone home and report a problem if the modem port is being used as a
remote connection to the service processor.
Operators at remote workstations can manage and monitor all
products controlled by the Connectrix service processor. Each active
connection between a remote workstation and a Connectrix service
processor and its managed products is called a session. A Connectrix
service processor allows a maximum of four simultaneous sessions.
