Configuring the Remote Support Modem
If you want your server to be accessed from a remote console (such as from a
remote support center or from a remote help desk) via the remote support
modem, you must configure the modem within MP-RAS.
After installation of the operating system is complete, log in and follow these
steps:
Note: Set or verify a modem password and send the initialization string to the
modem each time you want to use the remote support modem.
1. Add the following line to the end of the /etc/uucp/Modems file:
Direct term/00,M - 38400 safire288init
2. Edit the /etc/uucp/Dialers file to correspond to the modem settings
required by the Diagnostic Partition.
–
Locate the safire288init string.
–
Change *C0 to *C1.
–
At the end of the line, add a space and then type ATQ1.
–
Save your modifications.
3. Set a call-back or call-through password. Refer to Chapter 2 of this
manual, “MP-RAS Remote Support,” for information about setting a
password.
4. Type the following command at the prompt and press Enter to send the
initialization string to the modem.
/usr/lib/uucp/setmodem -d -m safire288init /dev/term/00
Note: There are some security issues related to having an auto answer
modem enabled on your server. Refer to the “Configuring a Remote Support
Modem” section of Chapter 2 of this manual, “MP-RAS Remote Support” for
additional information.
