serial connection or LAN), use one of the following commands:
DPCConsole /modem= [phonenumber]
where [phonenumber] is the phone number of the server.
DPCConsole /direct= [comX]
where [comX] is the COM port of the management station’s direct connection.
DPCConsole /lan=[IPaddress orDNSname]

If you are using a modem, the following modem configuration settings are required fro all servers:

The BIOS and OS write entries to the SEL. The DPC SEL Manager lets you:

SEL events display as a sequential record of managed server events, one event per row. You can sort each
column by clicking on the column heading.

the server. The DPC SDR Manager lets you:
