Setting Up the Remote Connection

Once you've installed the HP Remote Assistant board, you can set up a remote
connection that enables the server to communicate with a remote console. There are
several options for setting up the server for remote connection. You can:

Connect to a remote console via the Remote Assistant's on-board modem (Models
D2968C and D2969C).

Connect to a remote console through an external modem connected to the HP
Remote Assistant board's serial port.

Connect directly (RS-232) to a remote console through the HP Remote Assistant
board's serial port.

Regardless of the type of physical data link joining host and remote consoles, you must
use the HP Remote Assistant Configuration Utility to set up communications between
the devices. See "Configuring the HP Remote Assistant" section later in this chapter
for more information on configuring communications.
