SWAN Concentrators

ServerNet wide area network (SWAN) concentrators can support modem connections.

When planning for data communications, be sure to consider data communications

lines that are to be connected to SWAN concentrators.

For more information about SWAN concentrators, refer to the SWAN Concentrator

Installation and Support Guide. For more information about SWAN 2 concentrators,

refer to the SWAN 2 Concentrator Installation and Support Guide

Planning for System Consoles

The processor multifunction (PMF) CRUs in group 01 of your server must be

connected to an Ethernet LAN connected to at least one system console. Two system

consoles, a primary system console and a backup system console, are recommended.

An Ethernet switch or hub is required; if you do not order an Ethernet switch or hub

with your system console, you must provide one when you install the system console.

Modems give system consoles a dial-in and dial-out capability for remote service of the

system. HP recommends that primary and backup system consoles be equipped with

modems, each connected to a dedicated phone line.

If the primary and backup system consoles will be connected to modems, the consoles

must be within 15 feet (4.6 meters) of a wall jack for a telephone line that can be used

for the modem. The RS-232-C cable shipped with the modem requires that the modem

be no more than 6 feet (1.8 meters) from the system console or a power outlet.

For detailed information about system consoles and their configuration, refer to the

OSM Migration Guide or TSM Configuration Guide. For information about installing the

system console, refer to the NonStop S-Series Hardware Installation and FastPath

Guide.

Note. Remote access and remote notification are not available in countries where the modem

provided by HP is not certified. In these countries, you cannot use the OSM or TSM client

software to dial out to or accept dial-in communications from a service provider.
