G 128-bit encryption
The Remote Insight board provides strong security for remote
management in distributed IT environments by using
industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption of HTTP
data transmitted across the network. SSL encryption (up to 128-bit)
ensures that the HTTP information is secure as it travels across the
network, giving peace of mind to IT administrators.
SSL is a network protocol layer, located directly under the
application layer, with responsibility for the management of a secure
(encrypted) communication channel between the client and server.
NOTE: The Remote Insight board is shipped with 40-bit encryption. The 128-bit
encryption can be downloaded from the Compaq website:

■ External power
An external power connector provides continuous power to the Remote
Insight board, allowing continuous access to the remote host server,
even when there is a remote server power failure or the server has been
turned off.
■ Internal Remote Management Connectors
Some ProLiant servers provide integrated 16-pin or 30-pin Remote
Management connectors and an interface cable that directly transmit
keyboard, mouse, and power signals to the Remote Insight board. This
internal cable eliminates the need for the external loopback cable and
Remote Insight AC adapter. Servers with internal Remote Management
connectors provide sufficient standby power to the Remote Insight
board—even when the system is powered down—as long as the server
power supply is functioning properly and connected to an AC power
source.
■ Autoconfiguration of IP Address by means of DNS/DHCP
Remote Insight boards provide automatic network configuration and can
be used straight out of the box. The board comes with a default name
and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client that leases an
IP address from the DHCP server on the network. For systems that do
not use Domain Name Service (DNS)/DHCP, the Remote Insight board
allows static IP configuration.
