22 SMP Tools Remote Access
to the SMP Gateway
You may want the SMP Tools to connect to an SMP Gateway that is not itself connected to your
network. You would typically do this by setting up a dial-up connection and using a modem to call
the SMP Gateway from your PC. Less typically, you might choose to access the SMP Gateway by
setting up a direct serial connection between a serial port on your PC and a serial port or the
console port on the SMP Gateway.
This section explains how to set up dial-up and direct serial connections between a personal
computer and an SMP Gateway. The procedure differs slightly, depending on whether the
SMP Tools run under Windows XP or Windows 2000.
22.1 Windows XP Setup Procedures
If the SMP Tools run under Windows XP, use the procedures outlined in this section to:
set up a dial-up (modem) connection between the PC and the SMP Gateway;
set up a direct serial connection between the PC and the SMP Gateway.
22.1.1 Setting Up a Dial-Up (Modem) Connection
This section contains the procedure for setting up a dial-up (modem) connection between a PC
running Windows XP, and an SMP Gateway.
If security features are activated on your SMP Gateway, you must first make sure your computer
is authorized to access the SMP Gateway (see “Sending the Security Database to One or More
SMP Gate
ways”, page 89) and that you selected the Rem
ote Access privilege for the Guests
group in the Local Security Database Security Editor, accessible from SMP Manager’s
Security menu.
