Configuring Integrated Remote Console
See “Configuring Integrated Remote Console” in Chapter 2 for details on how
to make the appropriate configuration settings to the managed server using the
Compaq System Configuration Utility. Ensure the following settings are
correct.
■ Configure the Managed Server Serial Port — Since the terminal
server is typically directly connected to one of the managed server’s
integrated serial ports, you must verify that the desired port is enabled
and configured correctly. See “Configuring an external modem or direct
connection” in Chapter 2 for more details. One suggested configuration
is using integrated serial port B configured as COM2, IRQ3.
