IBM 8870 manual ASM interconnect network modem configuration

Page 63

In the following example, a Remote Supervisor Adapter II-EXA is installed in an xSeries 44, and creates an interconnect network with the other xSeries 445 servers that have a Remote Supervisor Adapter installed. A modem is connected to the serial connector of the Remote Supervisor Adapter II-EXA (on one end of the ASM breakout cable), a second modem is connected to the management port of the Remote supervisor Adapter in the server connected to the end of the ASM interconnect network, and a modem is connected to the remote system-management administrator’s system.
