Configuring the management port for text-based remote access: Complete the
following steps to configure the Remote Supervisor Adapter management port for
access using a modem or null modem. If you completed the procedure for
configuring the Ethernet port and the Configuration Settings window is open, go to
step 3
1. With the server turned off, insert the diskette with the downloaded utility
program into the diskette drive; then, turn on the server. The utility starts
automatically, displaying the Remote Supervisor Utility window.
2. Use the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys (
↑
and
↓
) to select Configuration
Settings; then, press Enter.
The Configuration Settings window opens.
3. Use the arrow keys to select Modem Settings; then, press Enter.
The Modem Settings window opens, as shown in the following illustration.
Note: The values in the window are only examples; your settings might be
different.
4. Verify the following management port values:
Baud Rate
The default is 57600. Make sure that the baud rate matches the baud
rate of the device you are connecting to the management port on the
Remote Supervisor Adapter.
Dedicated to ASM
The default is Disabled. If you are using point-to-point protocol (PPP),
set this field to Enabled. If the value in this field is Enabled when the
server is restarted, the management port remains dedicated to system
management and is not returned to the operating system.
You can dedicate the integrated management port on the Remote
Supervisor Adapter to system management or share it with the
operating system. If the management port is dedicated to system
management, it serves only the Remote Supervisor Adapter and is
always available for dial-in or dial-out alerting purposes. You cannot
view the port using the operating system or any application.
