Netfinity 7000 M10 - Establishing a direct connection to the Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapter

Applicable to: World-Wide

Source: Hardware Maintenance Manual

Establishing a Direct Connection to the Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapter: You can establish a direct connection to the Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapter in one of three ways:

- Connect using a serial connection and a terminal program
- Connect using a TCPIP network connection and a TELNET session
- Connect using a TCPIP network connection and a web browser

Using a Terminal Program to Connect: To use a terminal program to establish a connection with the system management subsystem:

1. Use a terminal program to establish a connection with the system management subsystem modem.

Use the following modem settings:

Baud	57.6 k
Data Bits	8
Parity	None
Stop Bits	1
Flow Control	Hardware

2. Dial the Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapter.

3. Log in to the system management subsystem.

When you have established a connection with the system management subsystem, you will be prompted for a username and password. You must provide a username and password combination that has been previously configured for use with the system management subsystem.

You can use one of two username and password combinations:

- The default username (USERID) and password (PASSW0RD)

Note The default username and password are case sensitive. You must use all caps, and the "0" in PASSW0RD is the numeral zero.

- A username and password that you define using the Advanced System Management service and Netfinity Manager.

Important For security purposes, change the username and password using the Advanced System Management service. For more information, see "Configuration Settings". If you update the system management subsystem microcode, the default username (USERID) and password (PASSW0RD) are reset. If you had previously changed them, you will need to change them again.

When you have logged in, you will be presented with the Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapter menu system. For more information, see "Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapter Menus".

Using a TELNET Session to Connect: To use a TELNET session to establish a connection with the system management subsystem:

1. TELNET to the TCPIP address that has been assigned to the Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapter.
