5. In the Login & Alert Profiles window, select Login Settings. A window similar to

the one in the following illustration opens.

6. In the Dial-in Support Status field, select Enabled to enable remote users to

dial in to the Remote Supervisor Adapter or ASM processor through a serial
connection.

7. Use the Delay before next Login after Failed Attempt <mins> field to specify

how long, in minutes, the Remote Supervisor Adapter or ASM processor will
prohibit remote login attempts when more than five sequential remote login
failures are detected.

Configuring remote alert recipients

You can configure the remote alert recipients, number of alert attempts, incidents
that trigger remote alerts, and local alerts. Use the remote alert recipient options to
view, configure, or change individual alert recipients. You can define up to 12
unique recipients. Each link for an alert recipient is labeled with the recipient name.

When you configure a remote alert entry, the Remote Supervisor Adapter, ASM
processor, or ASM PCI adapter sends an alert to a remote system (through a serial
connection or a network connection), a numeric pager, or an alphanumeric pager
when an event selected from an alert group occurs. This alert will contain
information about the nature of the event, the time and date of the event, and the
name of the system that generated the alert.

Notes:

1. You cannot distinguish between the alerts that are sent to remote alert

recipients. All configured recipients receive each alert you select.

2. If the SNMP Agent or SNMP Traps fields are not enabled, no SNMP traps are

sent. For information about these fields, see “Configuring SNMP” on page 91.

Complete the following steps to configure a remote alert recipient:

1. Log in to the Remote Supervisor Adapter. For more information, see

“Accessing the text-based interface through a Telnet connection” on page 65 or
“Accessing the text-based interface through a direct serial connection” on
page 66.

2. For an xSeries 330 server: Log in to the ASM processor. For more

information, see “Accessing remote adapters through an ASM interconnect
network” on page 67.
