Table 1. Cabling tasks to enable remote access to the Remote Supervisor Adapter User interface to Remote Connection to Remote Supervisor Adapter Supervisor Adapter For the cabling procedure, see ASM Web interface using LAN using the Ethernet port the HTTP protocol "Cabling the Ethernet LAN port" on page 19 Text-based user interface using the Telnet protocol Text-based user interface using a modem or a null modem Serial (COM) port "Cabling the serial (COM) port" on page 20 ASM Web interface using point-to-point protocol (PPP) Text-based user interface using the Telnet protocol over PPP Cabling the Ethernet LAN port: This section describes how to cable the Ethernet LAN port. Attention: To avoid damage to the Ethernet connector on the Remote Supervisor Adapter, do not connect the ASM Interconnect module to the Ethernet connector. Complete the following steps to attach the Ethernet cables: 1. Connect one end of a Category 3 or Category 5 Ethernet cable to the Ethernet connector on the Remote Supervisor Adapter. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the network. 2. Check the Ethernet LEDs to ensure that the network connection is working. The following illustration shows the locations of the LEDs. External power supply connector Ethernet activity LED (green) Ethernet link Error LED LED (green) (amber) Lithium battery P- P Power LED (green) Serial Ethernet connector connector (COM) (RJ-45) ASM Interconnect port (RJ-14) Ethernet activity LED When the green Ethernet activity LED flashes, it indicates that there is Ethernet activity. Ethernet link LED When the green Ethernet link LED is lit, it indicates that the Ethernet cable is connected properly. If you want to use the serial port connection, continue with "Cabling the serial (COM) port" on page 20; otherwise, go to "Configuring the adapter" on page 20. Chapter 2. Configuring the server 19
