Minimum Server Requirements

In order to use HP Remote Console Redirection, your server needs:

An installed HP Utility Partition

An external modem or direct connection via one of the HP NetServer
E 40 or E 45's two serial ports

An HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM Version F.00.20 or later. (To find
the version number, look on the CD-ROM, opposite the HP logo.) The HP
NetServer Navigator CD-ROM
includes the Utility Partition setup and
associated files, as well as pcANYWHERE32 communications software.

NOTE

HP recommends that the customer (end user) retain possession
of the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM. In case of
emergency, the server can be rebooted directly via the
Navigator CD. Furthermore, Support Anywhere software
components are then available to the end user as needed.

Minimum Console Requirements

For the remote console, you can use any ANSI X3.64 compatible terminal or
terminal emulator with a modem or RS-232 connection. For best results, use an
ANSI color terminal that supports 25-line mode and IBM PC character set. In
addition, you will need:

A 386-based (or faster) computer with 12 MB of available disk space

A communications link to the server, either through a modem or a direct
serial connection

Communications software. You can make master diskettes of the
pcANYWHERE32 software from the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM
that comes with the HP NetServer system.

Microsoft Windows 95, or Windows NT Workstation 3.5, 3.51, or 4.0

Installation of HP Remote Console Redirection

Installing HP Remote Console Redirection is a two-part process including setup
at the NetServer and at the workstation designated as the remote console.
