Rextron MNIP-01 User Manual page 67

You will be presented with the IPMI Status menu (see above). Make the following changes to enable
IPMI:
Enable IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) via serial port: select
Enabled.
Select which serial port to use: select Front serial port (DTE pin out) since the Digital
KVM via IP has DTE serial port only.
Select baud rate to use: select a value from the menu between 9600 bps and 115,200
bps based on the configuration on the host computer's IPMI settings.
BMC Password: Enter the password twice assigned to the BMC in the host computer's
BIOS setup software.
NOTE: that the selected baud rate should match the host computer's setting. Problems with the BMC
password (as well as any other error information) will be recorded in the Digital KVM via IP's
system log on the Status page of the Web interface. If the host computer's BIOS setup allows
for multiple levels of security for the BMC, ensure the password you enter on the menu offers
sufficient authority to control chassis power and monitor fan status.
Once you have made the necessary changes on this screen, click Commit to activate IPMI with the
settings you entered. NOTE that clicking Commit will cause any active VNC sessions to fail and you
will need to re-establish them.
Accessing the Status Screen
The Digital KVM via IP allows you to monitor the status of the host computer via IPMI using either the
Web interface or the VNC client. The information you will be able to view using the status screen will
depend on the model of host computer being managed. Since IPMI implementations vary widely
across manufacturers, the information you are able to see on your status screen may differ from the
examples. NOTE that the Status screen will not allow you to make any configuration changes and is
for monitoring purposes only.
