Configuring DRAC III Dial-in (PPP) Users and Modem Settings
Dial-in (PPP) users and modem features are currently only available for the DRAC III.
Adding and Configuring a DRAC III Dial-In (PPP) User
NOTE: You must have Admin privileges in Server Administrator to use the Remote Access Service.
This subsection describes how to add and configure a dial-in (PPP) user. After dial-in users are
authenticated, they must enter the DRAC user authentication at the remote access controller login
screen to access the DRAC III.
NOTE: The Server Administrator managed-system PPP client uses the 192.168.234.235 network to talk with the
installed DRAC III. It is possible that this network IP address could already be in use by other systems or applications.
If this situation occurs, the PPP connection fails to operate. If this address is already in use, the user is required to
change the managed-system PPP client IP address to a different number. To change the managed-system PPP
server IP address to use another network so that conflicts do not occur, you must use the racadm utility. See the
Dell Remote Access Controller Racadm User's Guide for information about using the racadm utility.
To add and configure dial-in users, perform the following steps:
1
On the Server Administrator home page, click the Main System Chassis object, and then click the
Remote Access object.
2 Click the Configuration tab.
3 Click Dial-In Users .
4 Click Add .
5 Type a user name in the User Name field.
6 Type a new password in the Password field.
7 Type a callback number in the Callback Number field.
This number is the one the Remote Access Service calls if
Callback Type is set to Preset .
8 Select a setting from the Callback Type drop-down menu:
•
None — When called, the Remote Access Service does not disconnect and call back; the
connection remains active.
•
Preset — When called, the Remote Access Service disconnects and calls the number specified in
the
Callback Number field; this setting activates the callback number control.
•
User Specified — When called, the Remote Access Service asks the user for the callback number.
Then the Remote Access Service disconnects and calls the number the user specified.
9 Click Apply Changes and then click OK to save your changes.
