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 6 on page 27.

7. Verify the following serial port values:
Baud Rate
The default is 57600. Make sure that the baud rate matches the baud
rate of the device you are connecting to the serial port on the Remote
Supervisor Adapter.
Dedicated to ASM
The default is Disabled. If you are using point-to-point protocol (PPP),
set this field to Enabled. If the value in this field is Enabled when the
server is restarted, the serial port remains dedicated to system
management and is not returned to the operating system.
Note: To use this serial port, you must first install the ASM device
drivers as described in "Installing Advanced System
Management device drivers" on page 28.
If the serial 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
is completed. You can view information about 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 serial port and modem settings, see the
Remote Supervisor Adapter User's Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation
CD.
