Testing the Setup
This section contains sample testing procedures to help ensure that your setup is
working.
These tests include communicating with the server operating system. Before you start,
ensure that the necessary serial port(s) is configured. If you need assistance, refer to
"Serial Port Configuration" on page 399.
The server should be powered off as a result of the "Service Processor Setup
Checklist" on page 397.
Testing Call-In
1. At your remote terminal, call in to your server. Your server answers and offers you
the Service Processor Main Menu after requesting your privileged access password.
2. Select System Power Control.
3. Select Power-On System.
When you are asked if you wish to continue powering on the system, type Y.
4. After the system firmware and operating system have initialized the server, the login
prompt displays at your remote terminal if you set up Seamless Modem Transfer
(refer to "Transfer of a Modem Session" on page 407 for more information). This
may take several minutes. When the login prompt displays, you have successfully
called the service processor.
5. Type logout to disconnect from the operating system. The message No Carrier
displays on your remote terminal.
6. Call your server again. The operating system answers and offers you the login
prompt. If these tests are successful, call-in is working.
7. Log in and type shutdown to shut down your server.
8. The message No Carrier displays on your remote terminal.
Testing Call-Out
During the setup, you entered your phone numbers for the pager (on page 277) and
customer voice (on page 277). These numbers are used for this test.
1. Your remote terminal is disconnected as a result of the Call-In test.
2. Call your server again.
3. At the service processor main menu, select Call-In/Call-Out Setup menu, then
select Call-Out test. This action causes a simulated error condition for the purposes
of this test.
4. After a few moments, a message displays, regarding an illegal entry. Press Enter to
clear the message and return to the main menu.
5. When your telephone rings, answer the call. You should hear the sound of a
telephone being dialed. Your computer is trying to page you.
If this test is successful, call-out is working correctly.
