97 Appendix B KSeek Utility Overview The American Megatrends MegaRAC K1 family of server and system remote management cards can be accessed from anywhere on your Intranet through an Internet browser. This is a great way to maintain your critical server when you are nowhere near it. This chapter explains how to locate your MegaRAC K1 on your local network using the KSeek utility. Locating Your MegaRAC K1 In order to configure your MegaRAC K1 completely, you must access the MegaRAC K1 from another system on the same network. This document refers to this other system as a client system. To do this, you must know the MegaRAC K1 s IP address. If you have installed the MegaRAC K1 on a network that uses DHCP, you can search the network for the MegaRAC K1. To locate and find out its IP address, you must install and run KSeek. To get or set the IP address on your MegaRAC K1 locally, you can connect to it using the RS-232 port on the K1 and a standard Telnet client (such as HyperTerminal) in conjunction with the KSeek Utility. Follow the steps in the table below to run KSeek: Step Description 1 On a local network computer, place the MegaRAC K1 CD into the CD-ROM drive. Locate the KSeek program on your MegaRAC K1 CD Disc. It is located in the following directory: CDROM\RemoteTools\KSeek.exe Run the KSeek program by double left clicking on it. 2 Left click on the Next button when you see this screen. Appendix B : KSeek Utility 89

98 Locating Your MegaRAC K1, Continued Step Description 3 Type in your Network Name. In this example, Your Network is the Network Name. Next, you must enter a range of IP addresses that you want to search. In this example, the MegaRAC K1 s IP address is between to Left click the Add>> button when finished. 4 The network name and IP address range will display in the right field. Verify that there is a check in the box next to the newly added range of IP addresses. Left click on the Next button. 90 MegaRAC K1 User s Guide

99 Locating Your MegaRAC K1, Continued Step Description 5 The name and IP range of the network to be scanned will display in the Selected IP Range window. Left click on the Next button. 6 If the IP range is correct, KSeek will locate the MegaRAC K1. It will list all MegaRAC K1s it has discovered. If more than one MegaRAC K1 is found, you can distinguish them by the default MegaRAC K1 s name. The default MegaRAC K1 s name consists of the words AI and the MAC address of the MegaRAC K1 s NIC. Appendix B : KSeek Utility 91

100 Locating Your MegaRAC K1, Continued Step Description 7 In this example, the MegaRAC K1 s IP address is Double left click on the IP address to start managing the MegaRAC K1 and write down its IP address. Left click on the Finish button after KSeek discovers all MegaRAC K1s. 8 When prompted for the user name and password, enter the following: Field Root User Name Password Default root superuser Left click the OK button. After you successfully log into your MegaRAC K1, you are greeted with the Welcome to MegaRAC K1 screen. The default root user name and password are in lower-case characters. When you log in using the default root user name and password, you have full administrative powers. It is advised that once you log in, you change the root password. Congratulations! You have successfully located your MegaRAC K1. 92 MegaRAC K1 User s Guide

101 IP Address Range Type in a unique name for this IP range in the Network Name field. In this example, Your Network is the Network Name. Next, you must enter a range of IP addresses that you want to search. In this example, the MegaRAC K1 s IP address is between to Left click the Add>> button when finished. The subnet mask must be when scanning for a single IP. Appendix B : KSeek Utility 93

102 IP Address Range, Continued The Start and End IP addresses can be the same if you only wish to scan for one MegaRAC K1 with that specific IP address. When you have finished entering all the IP address ranges to be scanned, make sure that they appear correctly in the list box. Confirm that the checkbox next to the IP range you want to search is checked. At this point, you have two options. You can choose to run the scan immediately by left clicking on the Next button, or you can select to schedule the discovery to run at specific times and intervals: daily, weekly, monthly or never. The name and IP range of the network will display in the Selected IP Range window. Left click on the Next button. 94 MegaRAC K1 User s Guide

103 IP Address Range, Continued If the IP range is correct, KSeek will locate the MegaRAC K1. It will list all MegaRAC K1s it has discovered. Left click on the Finish button after KSeek discovers all MegaRAC K1s. Appendix B : KSeek Utility 95

104 Usage Once the program has been installed and set up, you can access it any time by double left clicking on its icon on the task bar. The screen that was last viewed will appear. To close the KSeek utility you must right click on the KSeek icon from the task bar and left click the Exit menu option. 96 MegaRAC K1 User s Guide

105 Appendix C CURI Client Overview CURI (Common User Remote API Interface) The MegaRAC K1 is normally configured through the Internet browser-based K1 GUI. WincuriK1Vga is an optional way to configure the MegaRAC K1. WincuriK1Vga is a command prompt-based utility. It is explained in this appendix. CURI Client The CURI Client program is a command prompt-based program that you can use to configure the MegaRAC K1. It allows you all the functionality of the K1 GUI. Running the CURI Client from Microsoft Windows To run the CURI Client program, open Command Prompt on a local network computer, place the MegaRAC K1 CD into the CD-ROM drive. Locate the Wincuri.exe program on your MegaRAC K1 CD Disc. It is located in the following directory: CDROM\RemoteTools\wincuri.exe A typical way to get to the RemoteTools directory of your MegaRAC K1 CD would be as follows: C:\Documents and Settings\Current User\> CD D:\REMOTETOOLS <ENTER> D:\REMOTETOOLS\> WincuriK1Vga <ENTER> The above example uses the following: The CD-ROM drive is the D drive. Do not type <ENTER>. This means that you must press the <ENTER> key on your keyboard.

107 TM Appendix D SConsole Utility Overview This appendix explains how to use SConsole. You can access your K1 s SConsole through a Telnet client. This is useful when you do not have a DHCP server on your network and need to statically assign the IP address to the K1. On Linux operating systems, you can use the MiniCom utility. It serves the same purpose as SConsole. Prerequisites You need the following before you begin: a system with a Telnet client (such as HyperTerminal) a K1 serial cable (that ships with your K1) your network s properties (Subnet and Gateway) username and password to access the K1 (if different from the default settings) Hardware Setup Attach the supplied K1 serial cable to the RS-232 port. Connect the DB 9-pin female connector of the serial cable to a system that has a Telnet Client such as HyperTerminal. MegaRAC K1 Plug your Serial Cable into the port marked RS232 Appendix D : SConsole Utility 99

108 TM Hardware Setup, Continued Physically attach your K1 to your network by plugging an Ethernet Cable into the K1 Network Port. (Optional) MegaRAC K1 Plug your Ethernet Cable into the Network Port Do not attach the AC Adapter to the K1 until after you have set up HyperTerminal and have HyperTerminal running. 100 MegaRAC K1 User s Guide

109 Setting up Hyper Terminal The best way to Telnet into the MegaRAC K1 is through Hyper Terminal. It is assumed that you know how to use Hyper Terminal. Usage of Hyper Terminal is therefore not documented in this appendix. Remember What Connect using the Serial Port (either COM1 or COM2) Bits per second set to Data bits set to 8 Parity set to None Stop bits set to 1 Flow control set to None Appendix D : SConsole Utility 101

110 TM Powering on the K1 Once you have HyperTerminal running, apply power to the K1 by connecting the AC Adapter to the K1 Power Port. MegaRAC K1 Plug your AC Adapter into the Power Port Once the K1 boots, you will start to see activity on your Telnet client screen. 102 MegaRAC K1 User s Guide

111 Logging In Default Root User Name and Password When you see the login prompt, enter your username and password. The default root username and password is as follows: Field Root Username Password Default root superuser The default root user name and password are in lower-case characters. When you log in using the default root user name and password, you have full administrative powers. It is advised that once you log in, you change the default root password. When you type your password, the cursor does not move. You will see the SConsole Main menu once you have successfully logged in. Appendix D : SConsole Utility 103
