HP EFC Server Connectivity The HP EFC Server provides an auto-detecting 10/100 Base-T Ethernet interface that connects to a hub. Each director CTP card also provides an auto-detecting 10/100 Base-T Ethernet interface that connects to a hub. A 12-port hub can be ordered from HP and installed at the top front of the equipment rack. Although the director allows for two Ethernet connections to a hub, only one connection is active at a time. The interface on the backup CTP card remains passive until a failure on the active CTP card occurs, at which point the redundant CTP card becomes active using the same media access control (MAC) address as the original interface. If an optional private intranet is to be used for LAN connections, an optional Ethernet adapter card (not supplied by HP) can be installed in the personal computer memory card international association (PCMCIA) slot to provide a connection to a private LAN segment for dedicated director communication. The HP EFC Server uses a modem connection for service and support of managed products. The modem provides a dial-in capability that allows authorized service personnel to communicate with the HP EFC Server and operate the HP EFC Manager and Product Manager applications remotely. The modem is also used to automatically dial out to an authorized support center (to report the occurrence of significant system events) using a call-home feature. The call-home feature is enabled in the Product Manager application and configured through the dial-up networking feature of Windows 2000. Remote User Workstations Customer system administrators determine whether to allow access to directors from remote workstations. If administrators allow remote sessions, they may restrict access to selected workstations by configuring the IP addresses of those workstations through the HP EFC Manager application. When a remote session is allowed, the remote user has the same rights and permissions as if the session were on the local HP EFC Server. Up to nine HP EFC Manager sessions can be simultaneously active (one local and eight remote). 62 HP EFC Server, LAN, and Remote Access Support

HP EFC Server, LAN, and Remote Access Support

HP EFC Server Connectivity

The HP EFC Server provides an auto-detecting 10/100 Base-T Ethernet interface that

connects to a hub. Each director CTP card also provides an auto-detecting 10/100 Base-T

Ethernet interface that connects to a hub. A 12-port hub can be ordered from HP and

installed at the top front of the equipment rack.

Although the director allows for two Ethernet connections to a hub, only one connection is

active at a time. The interface on the backup CTP card remains passive until a failure on

the active CTP card occurs, at which point the redundant CTP card becomes active using

the same media access control (MAC) address as the original interface.

If an optional private intranet is to be used for LAN connections, an optional Ethernet

adapter card (not supplied by HP) can be installed in the personal computer memory card

international association (PCMCIA) slot to provide a connection to a private LAN segment

for dedicated director communication.

The HP EFC Server uses a modem connection for service and support of managed

products. The modem provides a dial-in capability that allows authorized service personnel

to communicate with the HP EFC Server and operate the HP EFC Manager and Product

Manager applications remotely.

The modem is also used to automatically dial out to an authorized support center (to report

the occurrence of significant system events) using a call-home feature. The call-home

feature is enabled in the Product Manager application and configured through the dial-up

networking feature of Windows 2000.

Remote User Workstations

Customer system administrators determine whether to allow access to directors from

remote workstations. If administrators allow remote sessions, they may restrict access to

selected workstations by configuring the IP addresses of those workstations through the

HP EFC Manager application. When a remote session is allowed, the remote user has the

same rights and permissions as if the session were on the local HP EFC Server. Up to nine

HP EFC Manager sessions can be simultaneously active (one local and eight remote).
