ASUS ASMB6-iKVM 2-13
2.5.1 Configuring the LAN controller
Before you can establish connection to the ASMB6-iKVM board, you must
configure the LAN port for server management used by the remote server to
connect to the local/central server.
To configure the LAN port of the remote server:
1. Run the ASMC6 utility from the support CD following the instructions in the
previous section.
2. Set IP source:
(a) Type ASMC6 -bmc_ip_source 1 if you want to set a static IP address.
(b) Type ASMC6 -bmc_ip_source 2 if you want to get IP from DHCP server.
3. Type ASMC6 -bmc_ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, then press to assign any IP
address to the remote server LAN port (if necessary). The screen displays the
request and response buffer. Write the remote server IP address in a piece of
paper for reference.
c:\>ASMC6 -bmc_ip 10.10.10.243
Detect MotherBoard -> (Z9PE-D16 Series)
Detect KCS Interface
New BMC IP : 10.10.10.243
c:\>
When finished, the utility returns to the DOS prompt.
Make sure that the assigned IP address for both remote and local/central
servers are in the same subnet. You can use the network settings utility in your
OS to check.
4. Configure your (a) subnet mask and (b) gateway address if necessary.
(a) Type ASMC6 -bmc_mask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (your subnet mask encoded in
hexadecimal system)
(b) Type ASMC6 -bmc_gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (your gateway address
encoded in hexadecimal system)
5. Restart the remote server, enter the BIOS setup, then boot from the hard disk
drive.
6. Adjust the local/central server network settings, if necessary.
