Setting Up Point-To-Point Protocol - IBM 450 xSeries User Manual

Setting up point-to-point protocol: The Remote Supervisor Adapter serial port
supports point-to-point protocol (PPP). PPP enables TCP/IP communication over
the serial 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 serial port and the Configuration Settings window is
open, go to step 4.
1. With the server turned off, insert the CD containing the EFI Remote Supervisor
Utility program into the drive; then, turn on the server.
2. The utility starts automatically, displaying the Remote Supervisor Utility
window.
3. Use the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys (↑ and ↓) to select Configuration
Settings; then, press Enter.
The Configuration Settings window opens.
4. Use the arrow keys to select PPP Settings; then, press Enter.
The PPP Settings window opens, as shown in the following illustration.
Note: The values in the window are only examples; your settings might be
different.
5. Use the arrow keys to navigate to each field. Verify the values in the following
fields:
Network Interface
The default is Disabled. Change this field to Enabled.
IP Address
