Terminal Program Operation

Much of the Intelligent Rack Manager Lite software functionality is available in a simpler, text-based interface using a host computer and a terminal program over a serial connection to the CMC.

■Provides some additional functionality that lets you configure the CMC for operation with other SNMP managers. This feature is not needed for Intelligent Rack Manager Lite-only systems.

IMPORTANT: Up to four Compaq Intelligent Rack Manager Lite consoles or other trap monitors can be specified to receive alerts. The first trap receiver is always reserved for the last Compaq Intelligent Rack Manager Lite management console that accessed the CMC device. Compaq Intelligent Rack Manager Lite and other trap monitors, such as Compaq Insight Manager XE, cannot be loaded on the same server.

■Can be used to flash the memory with new CMC software. This operation is normally performed using the Intelligent Rack Manager Lite software over the network.
