Chapter 2. Configuring your server
31
Configuring the Ethernet settings for Web-based remote
access: If you have an accessible, active, and configured dynamic host configuration
protocol (DHCP) server on the network, the hostname, IP address, gateway address,
subnet mask, and DNS server IP address are set automatically. You do not need to
perform further configuration tasks to enable the Ethernet connection because the
default value for the DHCP Setting field is Enabled. If you need to configure the serial
port, go to “Configuring the serial port for text-based remote access:” on page 32;
otherwise, go to “Configuring the remote control password:” on page 37.
If you do not have a DHCP server on the network, complete the following steps to
configure the Ethernet settings.
1. With the server turned off, insert the diskette with the downloaded utility program
into the diskette drive; then, turn on the server.
2. The utility starts automatically, displaying the Remote Supervisor Utility window.
3. Use the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys (
↑
and
↓
) to select Configuration
Settings; then, press Enter. The Configuration Settings window opens.
4. Use the arrow keys to select Ethernet Settings; then, press Enter.
The Ethernet Settings window opens, as shown in the following illustration.
Note: The values in the window are only examples; your settings might be
different.
5. Use the arrow keys to navigate to each field. Your system administrator can
provide the information for the following fields:
Network Interface
The default value is Enabled; verify that it is still set to Enabled.
