COMPAQ CONFIDENTIAL - NEED TO KNOW REQUIRED
A general outline of the configuration process is shown below.
1. Disable IRC — It is highly recommended that IRC be disabled before
the operating system based utilities are installed. This step is not
required, but can eliminate communication problems introduced by an
incorrectly configured IRC.
2. Install and Configure Dial-up Networking — Install PPP
communication software on the managed server. See the Compaq
Insight Manager User’s guide for detailed information on how to
configure dial-up networking to accommodate asynchronous
management.
3. Install and Configure Asynchronous Management — Install
asynchronous management using the SmartStart Management CD
supplied with your server. See the Compaq Insight Manager User’s
Guide for detailed information on configuring asynchronous
management.
4. Test Dial-up Networking and Asynchronous Management — Once
configured, test the configuration by dialing into the managed server. If
dial-up networking is installed correctly, you should be able to establish
a PPP connection with the server. Once connected, you should be able to
browse management data if asynchronous management is configured
correctly. Test dial-out asynchronous traps using the test facility
provided by the asynchronous management software.
5. Configure and Enable IRC — Once proper operation with the
operating system has been verified, enable IRC paying close attention to
the communication port and modem initialization settings.
6. Test OS Dial-in Capability — Once enabled, you should be able to
access either IRC or operating system-based management. Test the
configuration by attempting to establish a dial-up networking
connection. Wait several minutes after booting the operating system to
insure that IRC has had a chance to regain ownership of the modem after
the operating system initialization process. If the call does not connect
properly, review your IRC configuration settings. See Appendix C for
additional troubleshooting information. Test the connection several
times, allowing at least 60 seconds to transpire between connections.
