Site Planning Checklist
Welcome to Site Planning for Express5800/320Ma 3.2 GHz, 3.6 GHz, and Dual-Core systems
1-3
To enable connectivity to the ASN, a modem can be attached directly to the system
and managed by Windows Server software or two partnered Virtual Technician
Modules (VTMs) in the system. The VTMs can also connect to the ASN through
their Ethernet ports, if the network to which they are attached has Internet access.
Systems that connect to the ASN using partnered VTMs provide the highest level
of availability. VTMs provide ASN connectivity even when the operating system is
not operational. VTMs also allow internal administrators to remotely service the
system over a telephone line or IP network, regardless of the state of the operating
system.
Without VTMs, ASN connectivity is only possible if the operating system is
operational.
Site Planning Checklist
Referring to the information in this document, answer the following questions:
Planning for ASN Connectivity
❏
Will your system use VTMs to connect to the ASN?
❏
If your system uses VTMs, will you connect them to a network so that you can
manage the server from a remote system? Are there maintenance network
connections to which you can connect the VTMs?
❏
If your VTMs are connected to a network, does the network have Internet
connectivity so that the system can connect to the ASN without a modem?
❏
If your system uses an ASN modem, do you have an external analog telephone line
available for the modem?
N O T E
A dedicated phone line provides the most reliable service.
ASN calls routed through a PBX may be slow due to load
on the PBX, or may not complete successfully due to
disconnections. If you must use a PBX, do not route the
telephone extension through a switchboard; instead,
provide a direct-dial analog number.
❏
Do you have an additional telephone line and telephone near the operator’s station
for voice communications when calling for support?
Planning for Optional Components
❏
The system contains four 10/100/1000 megabits-per-second (Mbps) Ethernet
ports. Will your system additionally include any of the following PCI adapters for
network communications? If so, indicate how many of each and plan network
connections for all Ethernet ports you will use.
