COMPAQ CONFIDENTIAL - NEED TO KNOW REQUIRED
Insight Manager launches a terminal window and dials the number configured
above. The call progress is displayed in the terminal window’s status bar. If
configured correctly, IRC on the managed server answers the call. If the server
does not answer (possibly indicating that the OS currently owns the modem),
wait 60 seconds and try again. For more troubleshooting information, see
Appendix C.
Invoke Integrated Remote Console Login
When Insight Manager indicates that the connection is established
(“Connected” is displayed in the terminal status window), press Enter three
times. This tells the managed server that the incoming call is intended for
Integrated Remote Console.
IMPORTANT:
After connection has been established, you have 10 seconds
to press the ENTER key three times to validate the call. Pressing any other
key combination or pressing the correct key combination after the 10-second
interval causes the call to be forwarded to the OS and does not invoke IRC. If
this occurs and modem sharing is enabled, IRC is unavailable for at least 60
seconds following the failed login attempt. Wait 60 seconds and try again.
After the login is successfully invoked, see the section “Login” later in this
chapter.
Benefits of Using Insight Manager to
Establish the Connection
One of the benefits of accessing IRC through Insight Manager is enhanced
keyboard support. Certain key sequences, like the function and Alt keys, are
not available through strict ANSI emulation. These key sequences are
necessary to perform certain remote server operations. (Pressing F10 to invoke
system partition utilities, for example). If IRC detects Insight Manager is the
control application, many of these key sequences are directly supported and do
not require attention sequences. See chapter 4 for the enhanced key sequences
available directly through Insight Manager.
