Chapter 3
Part 4. Remote Console Options
The HP NetServer E 40 and E 45 offers a range of optional remote control
capabilities, which allow you off-site access to an E Series NetServer. With a
modem connection at one of the NetServer's serial ports, personnel at a distant
workstation or terminal can control server functions (including the boot process),
run diagnostic utilities, and manage and configure NOS-level NetServer
functions.
Support Anywhere includes three distinct methods you can use to access and
control an HP NetServer remotely. These are:
HP Remote Console Redirection (E 40 and E 45 only)
OS level for viewing server boot events and running hardware diagnostics
Graphics Console Redirection (Windows NT)
NOS level configuration and management
RCONSOLE (Novell NetWare) support
NOS-level configuration and management
CAUTION
All three forms of remote access endorsed by Support
Anywhere are password secured. However, the level of
protection is minimal and may therefore compromise security
on some networks. Carefully weigh the risks of exposure
when using remote access. Disable them when not needed.
Supported Modems
The following modems have been tested and are supported for use by Hewlett-
Packard.
Hayes ACCURA 28.8 External Modem
US Robotics Sportster 28.8 External Modem
Multitech Multimodem ZDX 28.8.External Modem
NOTE
Hewlett-Packard recommends matching the modem
manufacturer/model at the HP NetServer and console for
optimum communications.
