For modem access, you must have either Compaq Insight Manager 2.0 or later or a VT100 or ANSI terminal type device. You may use a standard CRT with VT100 or ANSI emulation capability, or you may use a PC with a VT100 or ANSI terminal emulation package. The communication parameters must be set for 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit. You can also enable ASR-2 to allow network access with the Network Status feature in the System Configuration Utility. You must have either Compaq Insight Manager 2.0 or later or a Novell Virtual Terminal (NVT) emulator on an IPX network to use this feature. You must also have version 2.24 or later of the System Configuration Utility. For IP access, you must have Compaq Insight Manager 2.10 or later or a Telnet Terminal emulator to use the feature.

Booting into Compaq Utilities
When you enable ASR-2 to start into Compaq Utilities and a critical error occurs, the operating
system-specific Health Driver logs the error information in the Critical Error Log or the IML,
and the ASR-2 feature restarts the server. When the system reinitializes, the system pages the
designated administrator (if enabled) and starts Compaq Utilities from the hard drive.
If the Dial-In status is enabled, the modem is placed in auto-answer mode. If you enable
Dial-Out status, you are automatically enabled for Dial-In.
If the Network Status is enabled, the appropriate network support software is loaded, depending
on the network protocol, IP or IPX. Loading allows remote access through the network.
IMPORTANT:
Compaq Utilities are loaded from a specially created system partition on the hard drive.
The partition was configured during server configuration.
You can access the server and view the Server Health Logs (in servers not supporting the IML)
remotely by modem, inband over the network, or directly from the server. For modem access,
you must have either Compaq Insight Manager 2.0 or later or a VT100 or ANSI terminal type
device. You may use a standard CRT with VT100 or ANSI emulation capability, or you may
use a PC with a VT100 or ANSI terminal emulation package. The communication parameters
must be set for 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.
You can also enable ASR-2 to allow network access with the Network Status feature in the
System Configuration Utility. You must have either Compaq Insight Manager 2.0 or later or a
Novell Virtual Terminal (NVT) emulator on an IPX network to use this feature. You must also

Compaq Insight Manager 2.10 or later or a Telnet Terminal emulator to use the feature. You
