68 Intel Server Board SHG2 Product Guide
• Restricted: a remote system can initiate a LAN connection, but cannot perform control
operations such as power down, reset, or front panel NMI.
• Disabled: remote systems are not allowed to initiate LAN connections.
5. In the IP Setup box, choose either:
• DHCP: the IP address for the server is automatically assigned by the DHCP (dynamic host
control protocol) server on the network. The Host, Gateway, and Subnet Mask boxes in the
dialog are ignored.
• Static: assign the IP address for the server using the Host, Gateway, and Subnet Mask
boxes in the dialog.
6. If you chose Static IP Setup in the previous step, fill in the IP addressing boxes:
• Host IP Address: the IP address of this server.
• Gateway IP Address: the IP address of the router for this server.
• Subnet Mask: the IP address for the server’s subnet. The server uses this to decide if the
alert destination is on the same subnet.
7. Click Save to save the changes.
8. Click Close to return to the PEM window.
Setting Up Remote Modem or Serial Access
To configure remote modem or serial access:
1. From the SSU Main window, choose Platform Event Manager (PEM).
2. In the PEM window, click Configure EMP.
3. If you want to require a password for remote access, enter the password in the Enter New
Password box and in the Verify New Password box. Passwords can be from 1 to 16
characters long, using any ASCII character in the range [32-126]. To clear the passwords,
leave both boxes blank. (You can also clear the password by choose the menu Options > Clear
LAN Password.)
4. In the Modem Ring Time box, enter the number of 500ms intervals that the BMC should wait
before taking control of the COM2 port and answering an incoming call. A value greater than
zero gives the BIOS time to answer before the BMC takes control. A value of zero causes the
BMC to answer immediately. The maximum value, 63, tells the BMC to ignore the call.
Modem Ring Time applies only to Preboot access mode and is ignored for other access modes.
5. In the System Phone Number box, enter the number for the phone line connected to the
modem on the EMP.
6. From the Access Mode list, choose the remote access mode:
• Always Active: the EMP is available at any time.
• Preboot: the EMP is available only when the server is powered down or is in the running
POST during startup.
• Disabled: remote systems are not allowed to initiate connections.
7. From the Restricted Mode list, choose either:
• Enabled: a remote system can initiate a connection, but cannot perform control operations
such as power down, reset, or front panel NMI.
• Disabled: the remote system has full control of the server.
