SIP User's Manual 13. Installing Windows XP on the OSN Server
13.3 Connecting Remotely to OSN Server using Windows
XP
Typically, for customers requiring Microsoft Windows® XP operating system (OS), the OSN
Server is provided with Windows XP already pre-installed. Once the OSN Server modules
have been installed in the Mediant 1000 chassis, you can connect to the OSN Server using
Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection program.
Notes:
• This section is applicable only to Mediant 1000.
• For installing Linux OS, refer to "Installing Linux™ Operating System on
the OSN Server" on page 523.
13.3.1 Cabling
Before you can connect remotely to the OSN Server, you need to cable a PC (running
Remote Desktop Connection) to the OSN Server's iPMX module.
¾ To cable a PC to the OSN Server running Windows XP for remote
connection, take the following step:
 Connect a PC to the Ethernet LAN port on the Mediant 1000 iPMX module (located on
the rear panel), by performing one of the following:
• Using a crossover cable, connect the PC's LAN port directly to the iPMX LAN
port.
• Using a straight-through cable, connect the PC's LAN port to a switch. Connect
the switch to the iPMX LAN port.
