Description

Network
controller

Compaq

For all Compaq standard network controllers

Network host
name

CPQHOU

Enter the network name of the server. Use underscores instead of
spaces within the name

for example, Compaq_Server. If you are using

IPX network access to the Compaq Utilities, this server name is used to
advertise NVT host services. This server name displays in the Compaq
Insight Manager server list when the program determines it can
communicate using NVT. Set this name to be the same as the server
name you assign when the host OS is running.

Network card
slot

Slot #

Select the slot number of the network interface card you wish to use for
network access to Compaq Utilities.

Network
frame type

ETHERNET_I I

Select the frame type for the network. Selections include both Ethernet
and Token Ring topologies.

Network IP
address

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Enter the IP address for this server in standard dot notation.

NOTE: This is not used if you select Custom for Network controller. You
must enter the IP address in the NET.CFG file that you load into the
Compaq system partition.

Network IP
net mask

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Enter the net mask for this server in standard dot notation.

NOTE: This is not used if you select Custom for network controller. You
must enter the IP address in the NET.CFG file that you load into the
Compaq system partition.

Network IP
router address

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Enter the router to be used for this server in standard dot notation.

NOTE: This is not used if you select Custom for network controller. You
must enter the IP address in the NET.CFG file that you load into the
Compaq system partition.

If you configure the server to boot into Compaq Utilities, it prepares for remote
communications. You can remotely run Diagnostics software, the Inspect Utility, or the System
Configuration Utility using a workstation running terminal emulation software, such as Compaq
Insight Manager or PC Anywhere.

Booting into the Operating System

When you enable ASR-2 to restart into the operating system and a critical error occurs, ASR-2
logs the error in Integrated Management Log (IML) and restarts the server. The system ROM
pages the designated administrator, and then executes the normal restart process.

IMPORTANT: When you enable ASR-2 to restart into the operating system, Modem Dial-In Status,
Network Status, and Modem Dial-Out Status are automatically disabled. In this mode, ASR-2 can page
you if a critical error occurs, but you cannot access the server, and the server cannot dial out to a remote
workstation.

If the ASR-2 feature cannot restart the server within 10 attempts, it logs a critical error in the
Integrated Management Log (IML), restarts the server into the Compaq Utilities, and puts the
modem into auto-answer mode.
