Testing the Setup The following is a sample procedure to assure your setup is working. These tests include communicating with the server operating system. Be sure the necessary serial port(s) is configured. If you need assistance, refer to "Serial Port Configuration" on page C-3. The server should be powered off as a result of the "Service Processor Setup Checklist" on page C-1. Call-In: 1. Go to your remote terminal and call-in to your server. Your server should answer and offer you the Service Processor Main Menu after requesting your privileged access password. 2. Enter item 2, System Power Control Menu. 3. Enter item 4, Power-On System. Answer "y" when asked if you wish to continue powering on the system. 4. After the system firmware and operating system have initialized the server, the login prompt should appear at your remote terminal if you set up seamless modem transfer (refer to page D-6 for more information). This may take several minutes. When this occurs, you have successfully called into the Service Processor. 5. Type logout to disconnect from the operating system. The message "No Carrier" displays on your remote terminal. 6. Call your server again. The operating system should answer and offer you the login prompt. If these tests are successful, call-in is working. 7. Login in and command your server to shutdown and power off. (The AIX command shutdown -F will do this.) 8. The message "No Carrier" displays on your remote terminal. Call-Out: During the setup, you entered your phone number for the Pager (on page B-19) and Customer Voice (on page B-20) phone numbers. These numbers are used for this test. 1. Your remote terminal should be disconnected as a result of the Call-In test. C-2 Service Guide
