This section summarizes the options for connecting to the OnBoard appliance for troubleshooting in the event of an IP network failure.Remote OnBoard appliance administrators can connect to the OnBoard appliance in case of network failure in any of the following ways:
• By bringing up the Web Manager or logging into the OnBoard appliance’s console over PPP after establishing a dial-in or callback connection to either of the following modem types :
• An external modem optionally connected to the OnBoard appliance
• By logging into the OnBoard appliance’s console after establishing a dial-in connection from a terminal emulation program to an external modem optionally connected to the OnBoard appliance.Local OnBoard appliance administrators can connect to the OnBoard appliance by logging into the Linux command line through a terminal or workstation that is connected to the OnBoard appliance’s console port.All of these connection methods must be previously configured as described elsewhere in this manual. For example, to make it possible to dial in if the network connection becomes unavailable, a modem must be installed and configured.
