COMPAQ CONFIDENTIAL - NEED TO KNOW REQUIRED
3. Install and Configure Graphical Remote Control Application —
Install graphical remote control application using directions supplied by
the software vendor. Configure the host for network TCP/IP access. The
client application should also be configured for TCP/IP access,
specifying the managed server’s PPP IP address or server name.
4. Test Dial-up Networking and Graphical Remote Control — Once
configured, test the configuration by dialing into managed server. If
dial-up networking is installed correctly, you should be able to establish
a PPP connection with the server. Once connected, you should be able to
open a graphics remote control session using the TCP/IP transport.
5. Configure and Enable IRC — Once proper operation with the
operating system has been verified, enable IRC paying close attention to
the communication port and modem initialization settings.
6. Test OS Dial-in Capability — Once enabled, you should be able to
access either IRC or operating system-based management. Test the
configuration by attempting to establish a dial-up networking
connection. Wait several minutes after booting the operating system to
insure that IRC has had a chance to regain ownership of the modem after
the operating system initialization process. If the call does not connect
properly, review your IRC configuration settings. See Appendix C for
additional troubleshooting information. Test the connection several
times, allowing at least 60 seconds to transpire between connections.
7. Test IRC Dial-in Capability — Finally, test the ability to invoke the
IRC login prompt by dialing into the server using an ANSI or telnet
based client application. Once connected, you should be able to invoke
the IRC login prompt by entering three carriage returns. If this attempt
fails, wait at least 60 seconds and try again. See Appendix C for
troubleshooting information if repeated attempts fail.
