The Dialing Settings Group



The Dialing Settings Group

Use the Dialing Settings group to specify settings related to the modem, and to configure the modem that is used to forward an alert when a Service Processor Dialout Event occurs. The Dialing Settings group contains the following items.

Item    Description
  
Dial-in enabled    Check this check box to enable remote users to dial
     into and access the Advanced Systems Management
     Adapter. If this box is unchecked, remote users will
     be unable to remotely access the Advanced Systems
     Management Adapter. Click on Apply after checking
     or unchecking this check box to save the new setting.
Dialout retry    Use the spin buttons to select the number of additional
limit    times that the Service Processor Manager will attempt
     to forward the alert.
Dialout retry    Use the spin buttons to specify the number of seconds
delay    that the Service Processor Manager will wait before
     retrying a dialout attempt.
Own port when    Check this check box to reserve a serial port for
startup    exclusive use by the Advanced Systems Management
     Adapter. If the Advanced Systems Management
     Adapter is built into your system, checking this box will
     reserve one of your system's serial ports. If the
     Advanced Systems Management Adapter is an
     adapter, checking this box will reserve one of the
     adapter's integrated communications ports. Click on
     Apply after checking or unchecking this check box to
     save the new setting.
   Note: This checkbox should be checked if you are
     configuring your system for dial-in access. If
     this checkbox is not checked, you will be
     unable to dial-in to this system unless the
     Advanced Systems Management Adapter has
     reclaimed the port for a dialout. If you want to
     configure the Advanced Systems Management
     Adapter to always be dial-in enabled,
     regardless of whether the system is currently
     powered up, you must check this check box.
     When this check box is checked, you cannot
     configure the specified port for use by your
     system.
Dialout number    If you have configured more than one Dialout Entry to
spacing    forward alerts, the Advanced Systems Management
     Adapter will attempt to contact each of these entries
     sequentially. Use the spin buttons to specify the
     number of seconds for the Advanced Systems
     Management Adapter to wait between dialout attempts
     for separate Dialout Entries.
Dial-in delay    The Dial-in delay (minutes) field shows the number
(minutes)    of minutes that must pass after an incorrect User ID or
     Password has been used in 5 successive dial-in
     attempts to the Advanced Systems Management
     Adapter, before valid dial-in access will be permitted.
     After the fifth successive login failure dial-in access is
     disabled for the number of minutes you specify, the
     Advanced Systems Management Adapter adds an
     entry in the Event Log noting that dial-in access was
     suspended due to 5 successive login failures, and the
     Advanced Systems Management Adapter will attempt
     to forward an alert if the Tamper Enabled Alerts
     Dialout checkbox has been checked.
