Setting Description
COM1, COM2 Select the communications port for the modem
used by the pager and the remote ASR-2 functions.
The options are COM1 and COM2.
Enabled Set Dial-In Status to Enabled. Be sure that the
Reset Boot option is set to Boot Diagnostics. When
the system starts because of an ASR-2 reset, it
starts to Diagnostics, sets the Management Modem
to auto-answer, and waits for the administrator to
dial in and run Diagnostics.
You automatically disable this option when you
configure the software error recovery start option to
Boot Operating System. When ASR-2 pages you,
you cannot dial in unless ASR-2 exceeds 10, the
threshold number of server restart retries. When
this happens, ASR-2 restarts the server into
Diagnostics and places the modem in auto-answer
mode.
Enabled Allows ASR-2 to dial out to a remote workstation. If
you selected this option, Dial-In Status is
automatically selected.
To use the dial-out feature, set Dial-Out Status to
Enabled and set the Dial-Out String to the correct
phone number. You must also set the Reset Boot
option to Boot Diagnostics. When the system
restarts because of an ASR-2 reset, the
administrator is paged by the Pager Status and
Pager Dial String, and then the system restarts to
Diagnostics and dials out to the phone number
provided in the Dial-Out string. The dial-out number
will be tried five times. If it fails to connect after five
attempts, the modem goes into auto-answer mode.
