Call-out Test MenuTests the configuration after the modem is installed and configured. In order for this test to executesuccessfully, at least one of the following numbers must be assigned:v Service center telephone numberv Customer administration center telephone numberv Digital pager telephone numberService Processor Parameters in Service ModeWhen the system is in service mode, the following service-processor parameters are suspended:v Unattended Start Modev Reboot/Restart Policyv Call-Outv SurveillanceWhen service mode is exited, the service processor functions are reactivated.System Power-On MethodsThis section discusses the following system power-on methods:v Power-on Switchv Service Processor MenusPrivileged users can power on the system by selecting the System Control Power Menu option fromthe main menu and then selecting the Power-on System option from the System Power Control Menu.General users should select Power-on System on the General User Menu.v Remote Power-on via Ring-Indicate SignalThe system automatically powers on when it detects a ″ring indicate″ signal from a modem attached toserial port 1 (S1) or serial port 2 (S2).A remote user can call the system to activate ring detection by the modem. Listen for a few more ringsthan the threshold number for starting the system. The system powers on without answering the call.v Unattended start mode - refer to Enable/Disable Unattended Start Mode on page 235.The service processor can be enabled to recover from the loss of ac power (see Enable/DisableUnattended Power-On Mode in the SYSTEM POWER CONTROL MENU). When ac power is restored,the system returns to the power state at the time ac loss occurred. For example, if the system waspowered on when ac loss occurred, it reboots/restarts when power is restored. If the system waspowered off when ac loss occurred, it remains off when power is restored.v Timed power-on - refer to the shutdown -t command on servers using AIX.Working in conjunction with AIX, the service processor in your system can operate a timer, much likethe wake-up timer on your clock radio. You can set the timer so that your system powers on at a certaintime after shutting down. The timer is battery-operated, so power interruptions that occur while thesystem is off do not affect its accuracy. Refer to the AIX shutdown -t command for details on settingthe timer.Note: If an ac power loss is in progress when the timed power-on attempt occurs, the system cannotpower on when ac power is restored.v Follow-up to a Failed Boot AttemptThe service processor initiates a power-on sequence if a failed boot attempt is detected (due to ahardware or software failure).v Fast or Slow Boot (IPL)Using the service processor menus, you can select the IPL type, mode, and speed of your system.Chapter 7.
