3-64 Compaq ProLiant 8500 Server Maintenance and Service Guide Table 3-24 Compaq System Configuration Utility Pager Settings for Booting into Compaq Utilities continued Pager Data Setting Description Pager test Select to test pager setup Use this feature to test the current pager settings. Press Enter to dial the pager number, and the pager message (if present) displays. You must configure the computer before testing the pager and the Pager Status must be set to Enabled. Do not test the pager if you are running remotely and are using only one modem. Serial interface COM1 Select the communications port for the modem used by the pager and the remote ASR-2 functions. The options are COM1 and COM2. Dial-in status Enabled Set Dial-In Status to Enabled. Be sure the Reset Boot option is set to Boot Compaq utilities. When the system starts because of an ASR reset, it starts to the Compaq utilities, sets the Management Modem to auto-answer, and waits for the administrator to dial in and run the Compaq utilities. You automatically disable this option when you configure the software error recovery start option to Boot Operating System. When ASR pages you, you cannot dial in unless ASR-2 exceeds 10, the threshold number of server restart retries. When this happens, ASR-2 restarts the server into the Compaq utilities and places the modem in auto-answer mode. Dial-out status Enabled This feature allows ASR-2 to dial out to a remote workstation. If you selected this option, Dial-In Status is automatically selected. To use the dial-out feature, set Dial-Out Status to Enabled and set the Dial-Out String to the correct phone number. You must also set the Reset Boot option to Boot Compaq utilities. When the system restarts because of an ASR reset, the administrator is paged via Pager Status and Pager Dial String, the system restarts to the Compaq utilities, and dials out to the phone number provided in the Dial-Out string. The dial-out number will be tried five times. If it fails to connect after five attempts, the modem is put in auto-answer mode. Dial-out string 555-1234 Enter the dial string followed by the remote computer telephone number. Network status Enabled To allow network access to Compaq utilities, set Network Status to Enabled and ensure the Reset Boot option is set to Boot Compaq utilities. Network protocol To use IPX network access, set Network Protocol to IPX. When the system restarts to the Compaq utilities because of an ASR reset, it loads IPX network support. This enables remote access using NVT. To use IP network access, set Network protocol to IP. Also make sure to set the Network IP address, Network IP net mask, and Network IP router address. When the system restarts to the Compaq utilities because of an ASR reset, it loads IP network support. This enables remote access using Telnet. Note: The Network Status must be set to Enabled for network access. Network controller Compaq For all Compaq standard network controllers. continued
