If you configure the server to boot into Compaq Utilities, it prepares for remote communications. You can remotely run Diagnostics software, the Inspect Utility, or the System Configuration Utility using a workstation running terminal emulation software, such as Compaq Insight Manager or PC Anywhere.

Booting into the Operating System

When you enable ASR-2 to restart into the operating system and a critical error occurs, ASR-2 logs the error in the Critical Error Log or IML and restarts the server. The system ROM pages the designated administrator, then executes the normal restart process.

IMPORTANT: When you enable ASR-2 to restart into the operating system, Modem Dial-In Status, Network Status, and Modem Dial-Out Status are automatically disabled. In this mode, ASR-2 can page you if a critical error occurs, but you cannot access the server, and the server cannot dial out to a remote workstation.

If the ASR-2 feature cannot restart the server within 10 attempts, it logs a critical error in the Critical Error Log or IML Log restarts the server into the Compaq Utilities, and puts the modem into auto-answer mode.

Your System Configuration Utility setting should resemble the following when you enable ASR to restart into the operating system:

Serial interface

COM1

Dial-in status

Disabled

Dial-out status

Disabled

Dial-out string

555-1234

Network status

Disabled

Network protocol
