Logging In to HP TopTools Remote Control
To initiate a connection to HP TopTools Remote Control from the remote client,
connect to HP TopTools Remote Control via LAN or modem connection, as
follows:
1. If you are using a modem (PPP) at the remote client (proceed to step 2 if
you are not), make your connection using the Dial-Up Networking
program. Once connected, you will see a modem connection icon on the
task bar of your desktop, proceed to step 2.
2. At the remote client, start your web browser software. Make sure that the
proxy settings for your browser have been correctly set. If your site uses a
proxy server, enter the IP address of the TopTools Remote Control card in
the browser’s exceptions list to bypass it.
3. Enter the URL address of the HP TopTools Remote Control card, which
should be one of the following:
◊ If connecting via LAN, enter the card’s IP address (for example:
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/), or a host name, if one has been assigned to
HP TopTools Remote Control in your DNS server (for example:
http://cardname.companyname.com).
◊ If connnecting via PPP, enter the card’s PPP IP-address that you
entered when you ran the HP TopTools Remote Control BIOS setup
(for example: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/)
Once you are connected, the TopTools Remote Control Identity page is
displayed in your browser window (see Figure 5-1).
