Configuring Communications

For HP Remote Assistant to perform notifications and interact with administrators at
remote consoles, you must configure it for communications by identifying the type of
data link, and, in the case of modem communications, provide communications
parameters for modem type and speed. Choosing the Communications command takes
you through a series of windows where you select options and specify hardware and
software settings for the data link with the remote console. The Configuration Utility
automatically detects the presence of an on-board modem and displays prompts and
windows accordingly.

On-board Modem or Direct Connection (Models D2968C or D
2969C)

To configure communications for an on-board modem or a direct serial connection,
choose Communications from the Configuration Menu. The Communications window
appears, providing radio buttons for specifying the type of data link you will be using.

To configure communications for an on-board modem or a direct connection, select
On-board Modem and Direct Connect, then press Enter.

The Onboard Modem/Direct Connect window appears (see next figure) in which you
can override the modem initialization string and specify a dialing method (tone or
pulse) and baud rate for a direct connection.
