The Dialing Settings Group

The Dialing Settings Group

Use the Dialing Settings group to specify settings related to the modem, and to configure the modem that is used to forward an alert when a Service Processor Dialout Event occurs. The Dialing Settings group contains the following items.

Item	Description
Dial-in enabled	Check this check box to enable remote users to dial
	into and access the Advanced Systems Management
	Adapter. If this box is unchecked, remote users will
	be unable to remotely access the Advanced Systems
	Management Adapter. Click on Apply after checking
	or unchecking this check box to save the new setting.
Dialout retry	Use the spin buttons to select the number of additional
limit	times that the Service Processor Manager will attempt
	to forward the alert.
Dialout retry	Use the spin buttons to specify the number of seconds
delay	that the Service Processor Manager will wait before
	retrying a dialout attempt.
Own port when	Check this check box to reserve a serial port for
startup	exclusive use by the Advanced Systems Management
	Adapter. If the Advanced Systems Management
	Adapter is built into your system, checking this box will
	reserve one of your system's serial ports. If the
	Advanced Systems Management Adapter is an
	adapter, checking this box will reserve one of the
	adapter's integrated communications ports. Click on
	Apply after checking or unchecking this check box to
	save the new setting.
	Note: This checkbox should be checked if you are
	configuring your system for dial-in access. If
	this checkbox is not checked, you will be
	unable to dial-in to this system unless the
	Advanced Systems Management Adapter has
	reclaimed the port for a dialout. If you want to
	configure the Advanced Systems Management
	Adapter to always be dial-in enabled,
	regardless of whether the system is currently
	powered up, you must check this check box.
	When this check box is checked, you cannot
	configure the specified port for use by your
	system.
Dialout number	If you have configured more than one Dialout Entry to
spacing	forward alerts, the Advanced Systems Management
	Adapter will attempt to contact each of these entries
	sequentially. Use the spin buttons to specify the
	number of seconds for the Advanced Systems
	Management Adapter to wait between dialout attempts
	for separate Dialout Entries.
Dial-in delay	The Dial-in delay (minutes) field shows the number
(minutes)	of minutes that must pass after an incorrect User ID or
	Password has been used in 5 successive dial-in
	attempts to the Advanced Systems Management
	Adapter, before valid dial-in access will be permitted.
	After the fifth successive login failure dial-in access is
	disabled for the number of minutes you specify, the
	Advanced Systems Management Adapter adds an
	entry in the Event Log noting that dial-in access was
	suspended due to 5 successive login failures, and the
	Advanced Systems Management Adapter will attempt
	to forward an alert if the Tamper Enabled Alerts
	Dialout checkbox has been checked.
