Service Processor Serial Connection Control



Service Processor Serial Connection Control

From the Service Processor Serial Connection Control window (shown in below Figure 11) you can use your system's modem to dial out and remotely access a remote system's Advanced Systems Management Adapter. The Name field contains names for previously configured dialout entries. For information on how to configure a Serial Control entry, see Netfinity Manager User's Guide or refer to the Serial Control online help.

Notes:
  1.  Before using the Service Processor Manager Serial Connection  Control functions, you must use Netfinity's Serial Control service  to create serial connection control entries. After you have  created one (or more) entries, close the Serial Control service  and then start the Service Processor Manager service. All  Serial Connection Control entries that you have created using  the Serial Control service will now be available for your use.
  2.  When using Serial Control to configure a Dialout Entry for use by  the Service Processor Manager, be sure to enter the Login ID  and Password for access to the remote system's Advanced  Systems Management Adapter, not the User ID and Password  for access to Netfinity services on the remote system.

To dial out and connect to a remote system's Advanced Systems Management Adapter:

  1.  Select the remote system entry from the Name field.
  2.  Select Start to initiate a serial connection between your system  and the Advanced Systems Management Adapter of the system  you selected from the Name field.


When the serial connection has been established, the Connected message appears in the top of the Serial Connection Control window. Once you have established a connection, you can use the Service Processor Manager to control the remote system's Advanced Systems Management Adapter.
