IBM xSeries 445 8870 User Manual page 51

Note: To use this management port, you must first install the ASM
device drivers as described in "Installing Advanced System
Management device drivers" on page 41.
If the management port is shared with the operating system, it is
dedicated to the Remote Supervisor Adapter only while the server is
turned off or during POST. The port is returned to the operating system
after POST completes. You can view the port using the operating
system or any application. The Remote Supervisor Adapter takes over
the port from the operating system only when information about a
critical event is received. The Remote Supervisor Adapter dials out and
transmits an alert and keeps the port dedicated until the server is
restarted. The port is no longer available to the operating system or
applications.
Parity The default is None.
Stop Bits
The default is 1.
Note: The data bits value is preset to 8 and cannot be changed.
For detailed information about the management port and modem settings, see
the Remote Supervisor Adapter User's Guide on the IBM Documentation CD.

Setting up point-to-point protocol: The Remote Supervisor Adapter management
port supports point-to-point protocol (PPP). PPP enables TCP/IP communication
over the management port, which enables Web-based management and Telnet
sessions over a modem. To set up PPP, complete the following steps. If you
completed the procedure for configuring the management port and the
Configuration Settings window is open, go to step 3 on page 39.
1. With the server turned off, insert the downloaded utility program into the
diskette drive; then, turn on the server. The utility starts automatically,
displaying the Remote Supervisor Utility window.

Settings; then, press Enter.
The Configuration Settings window opens.
3. Use the arrow keys to select PPP Settings; then, press Enter.
The PPP Settings window opens, as shown in the following illustration.
