NOTE: Configuring remote connection (dial-in) services requires the use of the second of the two
network interface cards (NICs) available on the NonStop system console. When you assign an IP
address to the second NIC on a system console running Windows Server 2008 that is being used
as a DHCP server for the dedicated service LAN, whether for remote notification (dial-out) and/or
remote connection services, you must remove the DHCP server binding for that IP address from the
DHCP configuration on that NSC. See Appendix A Configuring the Second NIC for Operations
LAN Connectivity.
