5 Connecting to a Managed Server
To connect the workstation running DPC to a managed server, you must first have configured the appropriate
connection on the server. For information on how to configure both LAN and serial connections, refer to
“Configuring the Connection” on page 5.
Follow these steps to connect to a managed server:
1. Start the DPC Console. For information on how to start the DPC Console, refer to “4 Starting the DPC
Console” on page 9.
2. Either click the telephone icon in the upper left-hand corner of the tool bar or select the File
Connection New menu item. Either action displays the Connect dialog box.
3. Click Phonebook and check if the server is listed. If the server is listed, select it and close the
phonebook dialog box. If the server is not listed, you need to add it to the Phonebook. For information
on how to add a server to the Phonebook, refer to “7
Phonebook” on page 15.
4. Select the type of connection: Modem, LAN, or Direct Port. For Direct Port make sure that you
choose the correct COM port.
5. Enter the server password. If you do not enter a password and the server is configured with one, DPC
will prompt you for the password during the connection process.
6. Click Connect. If the connection is successful, the status bar at the bottom of the console will display
the word “connected.” Also, the toolbar at the top of the console will contain enabled icons that let you
access DPC Console features.
