Chapter 3 Integrated RA Setup and Configuration 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. 14

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.
