Pager Data Setting Description
Pager test Select to test
pager setup
Use this to test the current pager settings. Press Enter to dial the pager
number, and the pager message (if present) displays. You must
configure the computer before testing the pager and the Pager Status
must be set to Enabled. Do not test the pager if you are running
remotely and are using only one modem.
Serial interface COM1 Select the communications port for the modem used by the pager and
the remote ASR-2 functions. The options are COM1 and COM2.
Dial-in status Enabled Set Dial-In Status to Enabled. Be sure the Reset Boot option is set to
Boot Compaq Utilities. When the system starts because of an ASR reset,
it starts to the Compaq Utilities, sets the Management Modem to auto-
answer, and waits for the administrator to dial in and run the Compaq
Utilities.
You automatically disable this option when you configure the software
error recovery start option to Boot Operating System. When ASR pages
you, you cannot dial in unless ASR-2 exceeds 10, the threshold number
of server restart retries. When this happens, ASR-2 restarts the server
into the Compaq Utilities and places the modem in auto-answer mode.
Dial-out status Enabled Allows ASR-2 to dial out to a remote workstation. If you selected this
option, Dial-In Status is automatically selected.
To use the dial-out feature, set Dial-Out Status to Enabled and set the
Dial-Out String to the correct phone number. You must also set the
Reset Boot option to Boot Compaq Utilities. When the system restarts
because of an ASR reset, the administrator is paged via Pager Status
and Pager Dial String, the system restarts to the Compaq Utilities, and
dials out to the phone number provided in the Dial-Out string. The dial-
out number will be tried five times. If it fails to connect after five
attempts, the modem is put in auto-answer mode.
Dial-out string 555-1234 Enter the dial string followed by the remote computer telephone number.
Network status Enabled To allow network access to Compaq Utilities, set Network Status to
Enabled and make sure the Reset Boot option is set to Boot Compaq
Utilities.
Network
protocol
To use IPX network access, set Network Protocol to IPX. When the
system restarts to the Compaq Utilities because of an ASR reset, it loads
IPX network support. This enables remote access via NVT.
To use IP network access, set Network protocol to IP. Also make sure to
set Network IP address, Network IP net mask, and Network IP router
address. When the system restarts to the Compaq Utilities because of an
ASR reset, it loads IP network support. This enables remote access via
Telnet.
NOTE: The Network Status must be set to Enabled for network access.
