2.5.1 Conguring the LAN controller
Before you can establish connection to the ASMB6-iKVM board, you must
congure the LAN port for server management used by the remote server to
connect to the local/central server.
To congure the LAN port of the remote server:
1. Run the ASMC6 utility from the support CD following the instructions in the
previous section.
2. Set IP source:
(a) Type ASMC6 -bmc_ip_source 1 if you want to set a static IP address.
(b) Type ASMC6 -bmc_ip_source 2 if you want to get IP from DHCP server.
3. Type ASMC6 -bmc_ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, then press <Enter> to assign any IP
address to the remote server LAN port (if necessary). The screen displays the
request and response buffer. Write the remote server IP address in a piece of
paper for reference.
c:\>ASMC6 -bmc_ip 10.10.10.243
Detect MotherBoard -> (Z9PE-D16 Series)
Detect KCS Interface
New BMC IP : 10.10.10.243
c:\>
When nished, the utility returns to the DOS prompt.
Make sure that the assigned IP address for both remote and local/central
servers are in the same subnet. You can use the network settings utility in your
OS to check.
4. Congure your (a) subnet mask and (b) gateway address if necessary.
(a) Type ASMC6 -bmc_mask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (your subnet mask encoded in
hexadecimal system)
(b) Type ASMC6 -bmc_gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (your gateway address
encoded in hexadecimal system)
5. Restart the remote server, enter the BIOS setup, then boot from the hard disk
drive.
6. Adjust the local/central server network settings, if necessary.
