IBM Partner Pavilion Remote Supervisor Adapter manual

Chapter 6. Starting and configuring the ASM text-based interface

You can establish a Telnet connection or a direct serial connection to remotely access the Remote Supervisor Adapter or the ASM processor on an xSeries 330 server through the text-based user interface. This chapter describes the login procedure and how to configure the text-based interface.

Note: F1 through F4 are the only function keys that are supported in the text-based interface.

Accessing the text-based interface through a Telnet connection

For best results when accessing the text-based interface through a Telnet connection, use a Telnet application that provides full VT100 terminal emulation support.The Microsoft Windows 2000 Telnet application does not provide full VT100 terminal emulation support. Hilgraeve HyperTerminal, which is included in most versions of Microsoft Windows, is the preferred terminal emulation program for systems with a Windows operating system installed.

Complete the following steps to access the Remote Supervisor Adapter through a Telnet connection:

1.Open a command prompt.

2.Type Telnet and either the host name or IP address at the command prompt. A Telnet client opens.

3.Configure the Telnet client for the text-based user interface. For information about configuring a text-based user interface, see “Configuring terminal settings” on page 66.

4.Type a user name in the Login ID field.

5.Type the password associated with the user name in the Password field. The Advanced System Management window opens.

Notes:

a.Some of the features in the Advanced System Management window are not available for all servers.

b.The following window is an example of a Telnet client. Your settings might be different.
