Chapter 4 Setting Up the Remote Connection
Figure 4-6. Remote Connection via the LAN
To enable remote connection over your local area network, LAN settings must
have been defined in the card's BIOS setup program (see previous section).
Remote Client Configuration (LAN)
Your remote client should already be set up and connected to your local area
network. Verify that TCP/IP protocol is set up properly for the client (client's IP
address, subnet mask, and gateway) by checking its properties from the Network
program in the control panel. Verify your browser's proxy settings. If your site
uses a proxy server for Internet access, you will need to bypass the proxy server
by entering the IP address of your HP Server Remote Management Card in the
exceptions list.
When you are ready to make your first connection, proceed to Chapter 5.
Setting Up to Use an External Modem
You can communicate with a remote client by connecting an external modem to
the card's serial communications port. A modem connection at the remote client is
required to complete the data link. The following figure illustrates this type of
connection joining the server and the remote client.
See Appendix B for information on modem support for the HP Server Remote
Management Card.
