2. From the Navigator's Main Menu, click Configuration Assistant.
The utility displays three options:
Express
Custom
Replicate
3. Click Custom and then select the NOS installed on your HP NetServer. Click
Continue.
4. At the Custom Configuration menu, execute the EISA Configuration Utility.
The system drops into DOS, loads a number of system and configuration files and
presents you with the EISA Configuration Utility menu.
5. Five options are displayed. Proceed through all five configuration steps in order.
◊◊ Step 1: Review EISA configuration information.
◊◊ Step 2: You may skip Step 2 unless you are adding an additional board.
◊◊ Step 3: Here you can view and edit configuration details. Scroll down to the
bottom of the file and take note of the COM port assignment. The utility
displays configuration details for two parameters specific to the HP Remote
Assistant board: serial interface configuration and Interrupt Channel (IRQ)
assignment. Notice that the IRQ Interrupt should always be disabled.
The utility automatically selects the first available COM port. If no COM port
is available, the system will select the option "None".
NOTE HP Remote Assistant requires a COM port assignment for DOS-level file
transfer and Windows NT graphics console redirection.
To minimize resource conflicts, HP recommends that you select either COM 3
or COM 4 for serial interface usage. Make a note of your selection if you plan
to install Windows NT graphics console redirection.
In the unlikely event that you want to use the HP Remote Assistant EISA Board
(Model D2968C or D2969C) exclusively as an internal modem, you must
specify one of the COM ports for pass-through mode.
◊ Step 4: You may skip Step 4 unless you want to verify board settings or print
out configuration settings.
◊ Step 5: After you have completed Steps 1 through 4, Step 5 completes the
EISA configuration process and causes the system to reboot.
