Accessing the service processor menus remotely
If your system has a modem connected to serial port 2 and is configured for call-in (see “Modem
configuration menu” on page 277), the service processor menus can be accessed remotely as follows:
1. With the system powered off, call in from a remote terminal.
2. The service processor detects ring-indicate and prompts you for a password (if one is set). When
verified, the service processor menus are displayed remotely.
Saving and restoring service processor settings
All the settings that you make (except language) from the service processor menus can be backed up,
either for recovering from a fault that may corrupt these settings, or for replicating these settings to other
NAS Gateway 500s.
The service aid “Save or restore hardware management policies” can be used to save your settings after
initial setup or whenever the settings must be changed for system operation purposes. Refer to “Save or
restore hardware management policies,” in the
NAS Gateway 500 Advanced Configuration and Problem
Determination Guide
.
It is strongly recommended that you use this service aid for backing up service processor settings to
protect the usefulness of the service processor and the availability of the system.
Menu inactivity
The service processor exits menu mode after ten minutes of inactivity and displays a message indicating
that it has done so. Press any key on the virtual terminal window to display the main menu .
General user menu
The menu options presented to the general user are a subset of the options available to the privileged
user. The user must know the general-access password, if one is set, to access this menu.
