Installing and Operating AN/DC and ANH-8/DC Systems
Connecting a Management Console or Modem
Use t
computer terminal emulator, or a modem to the AN/DC. Using a local terminal,
you can monitor the results of startup diagnostics and set the boot configuration.
Using an attached modem, you can allow remote dial-in access to diagnostics.
To determine whether you need to connect a console to the AN/DC, contact your
network administrator to find out which software configuration option (EZ Install,
Netboot, Directed Netboot, or Local Boot) is best for your site.
Refer to Chapter 2 for information on the software configuration options. You
must connect a console to the AN/DC to use Netboot, Directed Netboot, or Local
Boot.
Although you do not need a console or modem connection for EZ Install, we
strongly recommend that you connect a console or modem to the AN/DC. This
lets you issue commands to the AN/DC and view messages.
Note: To use the Netboot, Directed Netboot, or Local Boot software
configuration options, you must connect a console the first time you power up
the AN/DC, as described in Chapter 3.
