Testing the Setup
The following is a sample testing procedure to ensure your setup is working.
These tests include communicating with the server operating system. Before you start,
ensure that the necessary serial port(s) is configured. If you need assistance, refer to ”Serial
Port Configuration” on page B-3.
The server should be powered off as a result of the ”Service Processor Setup Checklist” on
page B-1.
Testing Call–In
1. Go to your remote terminal and call in to your server. Your server answers and offers you
the Service Processor Main Menu after requesting your privileged access password.
2. Select System Power Control.
3. Select Power–On System.
When you are asked if you wish to continue powering on the system, type Y.
4. After the system firmware and operating system have initialized the server, the login
prompt displays at your remote terminal if you set up Seamless Modem Transfer (refer to
”Transfer of a Modem Session” on page C-4 for more information). This may take
several minutes. When the login prompt displays, you have successfully called the
Service Processor.
5. Type logout to disconnect from the operating system. The message No Carrier
displays on your remote terminal.
6. Call your server again. The operating system answers and offers you the login prompt. If
these tests are successful, call–in is working.
7. Log in and type shutdown –F to shut down your server.
8. The message No Carrier displays on your remote terminal.
Testing Call–Out
During the setup, you entered your phone numbers for the pager (on page 3-21) and
customer voice (on page 3-21). These numbers are used for this test.
1. Your remote terminal is disconnected as a result of the Call–In test.
2. Call your server again.
3. At the Service Processor Main Menu, select Call–In/Call–Out Setup menu, then select
Call–Out test. This action causes a simulated error condition for the purposes of this
test.
4. After a few moments, a message displays, regarding an illegal entry. Press Enter to clear
the message and return to the main menu.
5. When your telephone rings, answer the call. You should hear the sound of a telephone
being dialed. This is your computer trying to page you.
If this test is successful, call–out is working.
Return to the ”Telephone Number Setup Menu” on page 3-20 to enter the actual telephone
numbers your server will use for reporting problems.
