• DHCP: the IP address for the server is automatically assigned
by the DHCP (dynamic host control protocol) server on the
network. The Host, Gateway, and Subnet Mask boxes in the
dialog are ignored.
• Static: assign the IP address for the server using the Host,
Gateway, and Subnet Mask boxes in the dialog.
6 If you chose Static IP Setup in the previous step, fill in the IP
addressing boxes:
• Host IP Address: the IP address of this server.
• Gateway IP Address: the IP address of the router for this
server.
• Subnet Mask: the IP address for the server’s subnet. The
server uses this to decide if the alert destination is on the same
subnet.

Setting Up Remote Modem or Serial Access
To configure remote modem or serial access:
1 From the SSU Main window, choose Platform Event Manager
(PEM).
2 In the PEM window, click Configure EMP and fill in the boxes
described in the following steps (boxes that aren’t listed here are
not required for remote access).
3 To require a password for remote access, enter the password in the
Enter New Password box and in the Verify New Password box.
Passwords can be from 1 to 16 characters long, using any ASCII
character in the range [32-126]. To clear the passwords, leave both
boxes blank. (You can also clear the password by choose the menu
Options > Clear LAN Password.)
4 In the Modem Ring Time box, enter the number of 500ms intervals
that the BMC should wait before taking control of the serial 2 port
and answering an incoming call. A value greater than zero gives
the BIOS time to answer before the BMC takes control. A value of
zero causes the BMC to answer immediately. The maximum value,
63, tells the BMC to ignore the call. Modem Ring Time applies only
to Preboot access mode and is ignored for other access modes.
