Quick Start
If you plan to connect to the HP Server Remote Management Card via
the LAN:
◊
Verify that the client has TCP/IP software is installed and it is properly
configured for your LAN (client's IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway) by checking the TCP/IP protocol properties from the
Network program in the control panel.
◊
Verify your client's browser's proxy settings. If your site uses a proxy
server, enter the IP address of the HP Server Remote Management
Card in the browser's exceptions list to bypass it. If you are using
DHCP, reboot the server and run the HP Server Remote Management
Card BIOS setup program to see the assigned IP address.
And/or:
If you plan to connect to the HP Server Remote Management Card via
modem (PPP):
Verify your client's PPP settings. Double-click the "My Computer" icon on
your desktop and then double-click Dial-up Networking. Add an entry and
define its properties (modem, initialization string, server PPP and TCP/IP
setup, login script). If you wish to use server dialback, you may configure
it via the HP Server Remote Management Card web interface after you
first login.
5. Make your first remote connection using the HP Server Remote
Management Card's web interface (see next section).
Make your first remote connection (see Chapter 5 for detailed instructions):
From the remote client, connect to the HP Server Remote Management Card via
LAN or modem connection.
1. If you are using a modem (PPP) at the remote client (proceed to step 2 if
you are not), make your connection using the Dial-Up Networking
program. Once your connection has been established, proceed to step 2.
2. At the remote client, start your web browser software.
3. Enter the URL address of the HP Server Remote Management Card, which
should be
one
of the following:
◊
If connecting via LAN, enter either the card's IP address (for example:
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/), or a host name, if one has been assigned to
the HP Server Remote Management Card in your DNS server (for
example: http://
cardname
.
companyname
.com).
