Compaq GS320 Installation And User Manual page 23

With the system management console (SMC), an AlphaServer GS80/160/320
system with multiple console lines can be managed from a single device. The
system management console consists of a DECserver 90M terminal server, a
Compaq Deskpro PC, and associated hardware and software. Figure 1–1 shows
a typical system.
The eight-port terminal server can connect to a maximum of eight partitions.
The console for each partition can be displayed in a terminal window under
ConsoleWorks.
The PC contains two network interfaces. The first connects to the terminal
server via a private LAN. The second connects to the corporate network,
enabling remote operation of the system management console through a Web
browser.
The PC also has an attached modem, which can provide Compaq Services
remote access to the GS80/160/320 system.

ConsoleWorks provides a sophisticated console management environment for
accessing the console of each partition, logging console line activity, and sending
notification of console or system events. In addition to local access through the
SMC, console lines can be accessed from any networked workstation by using a
Web browser.
NOTE: The PC that is supplied as part of the system management console is
supported by Compaq only with the hardware and software
configuration provided. To maintain this support, you may not add or
replace any components except as provided by Compaq.

The version of ConsoleWorks used on the SMC has been modified by the manufacturer,
TECSys Development Incorporated (TDI), to comply with the AlphaServer Management
Architecture. TDI's standard version of ConsoleWorks cannot be used as a replacement
for this SMC application.
