NEC EXPRESSBUILDER for DOS-based with Remote Console

This subsection describes the procedures for using NEC EXPRESSBUILDER for DOS-based with remote console.

NEC EXPRESSBUILDER contains the remote console feature that allows the system administrator to set up the server from the management workstation (management PC) via the network or the server's COM B (serial) port.

IMPORTANT:

„Do not use this feature on any other computer than the server, or on any other server obtained without the NEC EXPRESSBUILDER. Doing so may cause a failure of the server.

„To use the remote console feature, a floppy disk containing a configuration information file named "CSL_LESS.CFG" must be inserted in the floppy disk drive. If "CSL_LESS.CFG" is not found in floppy disk, no menu is displayed on the management PC.

„If you fail to configure the disk array controller N8103-80F or 81F from the remote console, try again using the server console.

„The system may fail to operate with the transfer rate of 115.2 Kbps for serial console redirection. Specify any other transfer rate than 115.2 Kbps.
