pager setup

number, and the pager message (if present) displays. You must

 

 

configure the computer before testing the pager and the Pager Status

 

 

must be set to Enabled. Do not test the pager if you are running

 

 

remotely and are using only one modem.

 

 

 

Serial interface

COM1

Select the communications port for the modem used by the pager and

 

 

the remote ASR-2 functions. The options are COM1 and COM2.

 

 

 

Dial-in status

Enabled

Set Dial-In Status to Enabled. Be sure the Reset Boot option is set to

 

 

Boot Compaq Utilities. When the system starts because of an ASR reset,

 

 

it starts to the Compaq Utilities, sets the Management Modem to

 

 

auto-answer, and waits for the administrator to dial in and run the

 

 

Compaq Utilities.

 

 

You automatically disable this option when you configure the software

 

 

error recovery start option to Boot Operating System. When ASR pages

 

 

you, you cannot dial in unless ASR-2 exceeds 10, the threshold number

 

 

of server restart retries. When this happens, ASR-2 restarts the server

 

 

into the Compaq Utilities and places the modem in auto-answer mode.

 

 

 

Dial-out status

Enabled

Allows ASR-2 to dial out to a remote workstation. If you selected this

 

 

option, Dial-In Status is automatically selected.

 

 

To use the dial-out feature, set Dial-Out Status to Enabled and set the

 

 

Dial-Out String to the correct phone number. You must also set the

 

 

Reset Boot option to Boot Compaq Utilities. When the system restarts

 

 

because of an ASR reset, the administrator is paged via Pager Status

 

 

and Pager Dial String, the system restarts to the Compaq Utilities, and

 

 

dials out to the phone number provided in the Dial-Out string. The

 

 

dial-out number will be tried five times. If it fails to connect after five

 

 

attempts, the modem is put in auto-answer mode.

 

 

 

Dial-out string

555-1234

Enter the dial string followed by the remote computer telephone number.

 

 

 

Network status

Enabled

To allow network access to Compaq Utilities, set Network Status to

 

 

Enabled and ensure the Reset Boot option is set to Boot Compaq

 

 

Utilities.

 

 

 

Network

 

To use IPX network access, set Network Protocol to IPX. When the

protocol

 

system restarts to the Compaq Utilities because of an ASR reset, it loads

 

 

IPX network support. This enables remote access using NVT.

 

 

To use IP network access, set Network protocol to IP. Also make sure to

 

 

set Network IP address, Network IP net mask, and Network IP router

 

 

address. When the system restarts to the Compaq Utilities because of an

 

 

ASR reset, it loads IP network support. This enables remote access

 

 

using Telnet.

 

 

NOTE: The Network Status must be set to Enabled for network access.
