System information

You may also use this cascading management function to change the
communication protocols within the same LAN. This way you can also
access a workstation from your managing station, even if the client only has
a network protocol driver installed, which you don′t have on your
workstation. In our example the network administrator is working at the
local Managing Station-1, which only has the NetBIOS protocol driver
installed. He or she now accesses Managing Station-2, which has the
NetBIOS and TCP/IP protocol drivers installed and active. Then the network
administrator uses the Remote System Manager function of that Managing
Station-2 to access the client via the TCP/IP protocol. Please see the
example below for details:
Managing Station-1 Managing Station-2 Client
|||
installed NetBIOS ------------> NetBIOS |
Protocols TCP/IP -----------> TCP/IP
Figure 51. Serial Connection Control
The connection control is used to define all possible connection using the serial
link support of TME 10 NetFinity. In general we have two possibilities:
1. Running as a client, then defining a modem connection with Auto Answer.
2. Running as an active NetFinity Manager, then defining a modem connection
with a unique name.
•
Name
The name is used to identify the connection. Please specify a name that
might be logical to this connection, such as defining the name CHICAGO for
the connection to your outlet in Chicago.
