2.3Network configuration

You must configure the network settings of both the remote server and the local/central server to establish communication and monitor or control the remote server. Prepare the support CD and a bootable floppy disk to configure the network settings.

2.3.1Running the ASMC utility

The ASUS Server Management Card Utility allows you to know the MAC address of the server motherboard and to set the IP address. This utility is available from the support CD that came with the package.

To run the ASMC utility:

1.Restart the remote server, then place the support CD to the optical drive.

2.Press <1> (FreeDOS command prompt) when the screen prompts you to select from available boot options.

3.When the A:> prompt appears, type X: (where X is the drive letter of the optical drive).

4.When the X:> prompt appears, type cd\asms\asmc\le\dostool, then press <Enter>.

5.At the prompt, type asmc ?, then press <Enter> to display the ASMC Utility Help Menu. The screen appears as shown.
