vTo configure the remote alert recipients for Director over LAN or Director over modem, the remote alert recipient must be an IBM Director-enabled server with UM Server Extensions.

vIf you want to use a Web browser to access the Remote Supervisor Adapter remotely, the following software is required:

–Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 (with Service Pack 1), or later

–Netscape Navigator 4.72, or later (version 6.0 is not currently supported)

–Java enabled Web browser (See your browser documentation or online Help for instructions about enabling its Java support.)

–Support for JavaScript 1.2, or later (See your browser documentation or online Help for instructions about enabling its JavaScript support.)

–Support of HTTP version 1.0, or later

–Minimum display resolution of 800 x 600 pixels and 256 colors

Note: The ASM Web interface and the ASM text-based interface do not support the double-byte character set (DBCS) languages.

Cabling and configuring the Remote Supervisor Adapter

Complete the following steps to cable and configure the Remote Supervisor Adapter.

Note: After you initially configure the adapter, use the Web-based interface to create a backup copy of the configuration. If you need to replace the adapter in the future, you can restore the configuration and resume normal operation more quickly. See the IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter User’s Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD for details.

Step 1.

Connect the Ethernet and management port cables. See “Cabling the Ethernet LAN port and management port” on page 54.

Step 2.

Perform the initial configuration to enable remote access to the Remote Supervisor Adapter. So that you can:

vConfigure the Ethernet port

vConfigure the management (COM) port

vSet up the point-to-point protocol

See “Enabling remote access to the adapter” on page 55.

Step 3.

Configure the remote-control password to enable the ASM Web interface remote control features. See “Configuring the remote control password” on page 63.

Step 4.

Install the ASM device drivers. See “Installing Advanced System Management device drivers” on page 61.
