HP D6028-90004 manual PPP Configuration, Remote Control card’s LAN IP address

Chapter 4Setting Up the Remote Connection

If DHCP is enabled, the next time the HP TopTools Remote Control card reboots it will obtain its network settings (including its IP address) from the DHCP server. The card will attempt to keep the assigned network settings for as long as possible so you won’t need to go back into the card’s BIOS setup program to view a new IP address (or view the card’s new address via HP TopTools Device Manager) every time the card reboots. If, for some reason, the IP address on the card changes, an event will be generated warning you of the change. You may configure the card to page you for this event.

NOTE	The TopTools Remote Control card always requests the
	maximum lease time for network settings so that they do not
	change. It will also attempt to renew the lease before the lease
	time expires. As long as the card does automatic renewing in
	time, it will not lose the leased IP Address. However, if the
	card is switched off, and remains off past the lease renewal
	date, it will lose its lease on the IP Address and will need to
	obtain a new one.

PPP Configuration

For remote connection to the TopTools Remote Control card via a modem, the Point-to-Point Network configuration must be enabled and defined. This includes an initialization string for your external modem, a PPP IP address and a PPP Netmask address. Typically, you leave the PPP IP address and PPP Netmask at the factory defaults since your PPP connection does not interact with the site network.

NOTE	The PPP IP address must be different from the HP TopTools
	Remote Control card’s LAN IP address.
