RMM2 uses its own user authorization, while Intel
®
RMM3 uses BMC’s user authorization.
Intel
®
RMM2 uses its dedicated utility, Psetup.exe, to configure Intel
®
RMM2’s IP address, user name,
and password. Intel
®
RMM3 uses common utilities, such as the Intel
®
Deployment Assistant (IDA),
SYSCFG utility or BIOS menu to configure its IP address, username, and password for remote access.
The web server is available on all enabled LAN channels. If a LAN channel is enabled, properly
configured, and accessible, the web server is available.
For security reasons, the null user (user 1) may not be used to access the web server. The session
inactivity timeout for the embedded web server is 30 minutes. This is not user-configurable.
Basically, you can easily configure Intel
®
RMM3 for remote access using IDA or SYSCFG:
 Set user’s password (other than anonymous users)
 Enable that user on BMC LAN Channel 3 (for Intel
®
RMM3)
 Configure BMC LAN Channel 3’s IP address (DHCP or static IP)
For detailed information on how to configure and use Intel
®
RMM3, refer to the Intel
®
Remote
Management Module 3 User Guide.
2.4.9 Access BMC through Intel
®
RMM3
The Intel
®
RMM3 is IPMI V2.0 Compliant. It allows the customer to remote access BMC through
Intel
®
RMM3’s dedicated LAN channel (LAN channel 3).
 The customer can send IPMI commands through the dedicated NIC on the Intel
®
RMM3.
 Intel
®
RMM3 also supports SOL over this channel. The customer can activate SOL session
through the dedicated NIC on the Intel
®
RMM3.
 In order to access BMC through Intel
®
RMM3, you must configure Intel
®
RMM3’s IP address and
associate BMC user ID to BMC LAN channel 3.
2.5 BMC in Intel
®
Server S1200BT Series Boards
2.5.1 LAN interface
Intel
®
S1200BT server boards (BMC SKU) series embedded with the Integrated BMC. The Integrated
BMC implements both the IPMI 1.5 and IPMI 2.0 messaging models. These provide out-of-band local
area network (LAN) communication between BMC and external network.
2.5.2 BMC Embedded LAN Channels
BMC hardware includes three dedicated network interfaces:
 Interface 1: This interface is available from the first on-board NIC ports in a system, which can
be shared with the host. Only one NIC may be enabled for management traffic at any time.
