1 What Is Remote Administration?
The HP NetServer E 60 systems incorporate remote access capabilities. Using pcANYWHERE32 (included
on the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM) or terminal emulation software of your own choosing, you can
access your NetServer from a remote site. Remote access is particularly useful for network administrators,
VARs, support technicians, and other support experts who can evaluate, maintain and, if necessary,
reconfigure a NetServer remotely.
The HP NetServer offers a range of remote control capabilities. With a modem connection at one of the
NetServer’s serial ports, personnel at a distant workstation or terminal can control server functions
(including the boot process), run diagnostic utilities, and perform NOS-level configuration procedures.
The HP NetServer includes three distinct methods you can use to control an HP NetServer remotely. These
are:
•HP’s Console Redirection
•Graphics Console Redirection (Windows NT)
•RCONSOLE (Novell NetWare)
HP Remote Console
HP Remote Console is built into the NetServer BIOS and is NOS independent. Use HP’s BIOS level remote
access to diagnose and remedy problems associated with a NetServer’s hardware operations or
configuration. The following illustration shows how HP’s Remote Console works.

•Run NetServer Diagnostics. This utility provides you with ways to test a NetServer’s hardware
components, including main circuit board function.
•Remotely boot the server and view startup messages.
•Set or reset system date, time, and keyboard language.
Graphics Console Redirection (Windows NT)
You can use pcANYWHERE32’s capabilities (when installed at both NetServer and remote console) to gain
virtually full graphic control over an HP NetServer from a remote location.
Using this feature, the console display exactly mimics the display at the NetServer. In this way, you can take
full control of your HP NetServer from the remote console. pcANYWHERE32 graphics console redirection
requires your HP NetServer to be running Windows NT.
The following figure shows how the Graphic Console Redirection is setup.

pcANYWHERE32 allows you to redirect what’s graphicallydisplayed on an HP NetServer running
Windows NT 3.51 or 4.0 to a remote Windows NT 3.51, 4.0 or Windows 95 PC console. Features include
the ability to:
•Launch the NetServer’s registry editor.
•Run NOS-level diagnostics on the NetServer.
•Access the NetServer’s control panel to review and modify a connected NetServer’s NOS level
configuration settings, including network settings, administrative tools, and driver installation.
RCONSOLE (NetWare)
You can use Novell NetWare’s RCONSOLE program to take control of a customer’s HP NetServer running
Novell NetWare/intraNetWare. RCONSOLE works at the NOS-level to provide full character-based remote
access to a NetServer running Novell NetWare/intraNetWare. Features include the ability to:
•Load and unload modules (NLMs)
•Run NOS-level diagnostics on the NetServer

Figure 2-1. HP Remote Console Setup
You (or your customer) may need assistance setting up a NetServer for HP Console, particularly if you are
unfamiliar with DOS prompt computing. In such cases, HP recommends that you first establish phone
contact with an assistant and walk them through the setup defined in "Setup at the HP NetServer" of the
installation steps that follow.
Minimum Server Requirements
In order to use HP Remote Console, your server needs:
•An installed HP Utility Partition.
•An external modem or direct connection via one of the HP NetServer’s two serial ports.
•An HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM Version E.10.00 or later. (To find the version number, look
on the CD-ROM, opposite the HP logo.) The HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM includes the Utility
Partition setup and associated files, as well as pcANYWHERE32 communications software.
NOTE HP recommends that the customer (end user) retain possession of the HP NetServer
Navigator CD-ROM. In case of emergency, the server can be rebooted directly via the
Navigator CD-ROM. Furthermore, remote administration software components are then
available to the end user as needed.

Chapter 2 Installing HP Remote Console

Minimum Console Requirements
For the remote console, you can use any ANSI X3.64 compatible terminal or terminal emulator with a
modem or RS-232 connection. For best results, use an ANSI color terminal that supports 25-line mode and
IBM PC character set. In addition, you will need:
•A 386-based (or faster) computer with 12 MB of available disk space
•A communications link to the server, either through a modem or a direct serial connection
•Communications software. You can make master diskettes of the pcANYWHERE32 software from
the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM that comes with the HP NetServer system.
•Microsoft Windows 95, or Windows NT Workstation 3.51 or 4.0
Installation of HP Remote Console
Installing HP Remote Console is a two-part process including setup at the NetServer and at the workstation
designated as the remote console.
You first set up and configure Remote Console at the NetServer. Steps include assigning a serial (COM)
port and password, and then initializing the modem.
Once the modem at the NetServer has been initialized, you can use pcANYWHERE32 (with either
Windows NT or Win 95), or any standard communications program running on a console workstation to
establish a simple, character-based terminal connection.
Setup at the HP NetServer
At the NetServer, the installation of HP Remote Console includes three steps:
1. BIOS-Level Setup
(Enables console redirection at the BIOS level.)
2. Modem Installation
(Refers to physical installation of the external modem hardware.)
3. Modem Initialization
(Modem setup for communication with the remote console. Note that in order to do this step, a
Utility Partition must have already been installed on the HP NetServer using the Configuration
Assistant utility found on the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM.)
BIOS Level Setup
HP Remote Console is built into the NetServer system BIOS and is enabled through a series of steps in the
BIOS setup program.
NOTE The HP NetServer must be rebooted as part of the installation for Remote Console
Redirection at the server.
The HP NetServer is equipped with two built-in serial ports located on the back of the unit. They are
designated Serial A (COM 1) and Serial B (COM 2).
To enable and configure Remote Console at the server:
1. Power on (or reboot) the HP NetServer and, when prompted during boot-up, press [F2] to run the
Setup program.
2. On the BIOS Setup Main Menu, using the arrow keys, cursor to the Configuration pull-down menu.
Select "Integrated I/O Ports," and press Enter.
3. The server displays a list of Integrated I/O Ports. Select "Serial Ports" and press Enter.

Chapter 2 Installing HP Remote Console

4. Cursor to "Console Redirection" and select a serial port for console redirection. Use the cursor keys
to toggle through the options. The table below shows serial port defaults.
Table 2-1. HP NetServer E Series Default Serial Port Interrupts
Label Port Interrupt
Serial A COM 1 3F8h IRQ 4
Serial B COM 2 2F8h IRQ 3
NOTE Your serial port IRQ and I/O address settings must match the entry in the Console
Redirect Port field. If you are unable to match these settings, consult your system
administrator or HP technical representative.
5. Next, configure the Console Redirection port for serial speed (baud rate), console type (terminal
emulation), flow control, and connection type (modem or direct). See Table 2-2 for
recommendations.
Table 2-2. Communications Parameters
Parameter Recommended Alternate
Baud Rate 19.2K or 38.4K 115.2K, 9600, 4800, 2400, 1200, 600
Console Type PC ANSI VT100
Flow Control XON/XOFF No flow control, CTS/RTS
Console connection via modem direct (requires null modem serial cable, not
provided)
6. When done, press [Esc] three times. This returns you to the Configuration menu.
7. On the Configuration menu, move the cursor to Exit and select "Exit Saving Changes."
The HP NetServer reboots and incorporates the new information in the NetServer’s BIOS.
CAUTION As long as the BIOS-level Console Redirection is enabled, your NetServer’s security is
easily breached. Therefore, HP advises that you disable console redirection as soon as
you or the remote user are finished using HP Remote Console Redirection.
Modem Installation
To enable console redirection, you need to connect an external modem to the NetServer port you assigned
for use with console redirection. The ports are designated on the back of the NetServer. Connect the modem
to the port you have chosen for console redirection, either Serial A or Serial B.
Modem Initialization
At the HP NetServer, the third step required to enable a Remote Console is initializing the modem.
To initialize the modem and initiate a remote console session:
1. Reboot the server and, when prompted, press [F12].
The server displays the Utility Partition Manager.
