Configuring the HP Remote Assistant

After you've installed the HP Remote Assistant board and used the EISA
Configuration Utility to set selected system parameters and have either installed or
updated the Utility Partition, you are ready to proceed with the HP Remote Assistant
Configuration Utility. This is a DOS-based utility that you use to configure HP Remote
Assistant for server management operations including:

Set up an administrator alias list for system access and pager notification

Configure event management operations, including the enabling of paging

Test HP Remote Assistant functions

Specify sensor thresholds

Configure communications for modem (on-board or external), or direct serial
connections

Specify a server keyboard layout

View a log of server events

View current measurements

Rearm monitors

Shut down the HP Remote Assistant EISA Board

Specify a server name and identification number to be included with notification
pages

NOTE

Many of the configuration tasks that you can perform with the Configuration
Utility on the server can also be duplicated via the HP Remote Assistant
Management Program that you run from the remote console. See "Remotely
Logging In to the Server" in Chapter 5 for more details.
