Setting Up The Remote Connection; Using An External Modem - HP LC2000r - NetServer - 128 MB RAM Administrator's Manual

Chapter 3

Setting Up the Remote Connection

You first need to set up a remote connection that enables the server to
communicate with a remote client. There are three possible options for setting up
the server for remote connection.
You can connect the HP NetServer's Management Port to a remote:
Client using an external modem
Client directly, using a null modem
Telnet client using a terminal server
Typically, all remote connections are routed through the HP NetServer's
Management Port, which is provided in addition to the usual Serial Ports A and B.
Regardless of the type of physical data link joining host and remote clients, you
must use the Integrated RA Configuration Utility to set up communications
between the devices. See "Configuring the Integrated RA" section later in this
chapter for more information on configuring communications.

Using an External Modem

You can communicate with a remote PC client by connecting an external modem
to the server's Management Port. A modem connection at the remote client is also
required to complete the data link.
Refer to Appendix B for a list of modems supported for use with Integrated RA.
The following figure illustrates this type of connection joining the server and the
remote client.
