If you're using an A or N class, you can configure the GSP to allow connections
throught the GSP telent port. You'll need a separate IP address and cable to
connect the GSP port to your network, the subnet mask, GSP system name, and
gateway IP for the GSP's new IP address.

This works for 3000's and 9000's.

At the console GSP, go into GSP mode with ctrl-B
Do 'LS' to see if it's already configured, the settings, and status
Do 'LC' to configure LAN
reply 'Y' to modify the configuration

Now, depending on the GSP software version and if it's configured already,
you'll be asked for each parameter if you want to change it or to select it by
number (again, depending on GSP version). Make your changes/entries and save
them.

Depending on the GSP version, you may or may not need to reset the GSP. If you
decide to reset the GSP you can do this without affecting your running system.

Now that you've set up your GSP for remote access, set up whatever terminal
emulator you use (Reflection, QCTerm, MS92, etc.) to access the GSP's IP
address using telnet. If you've done the set up correctly, you'll get a GSP
login prompt just as you do at the console. Provide your GSP username and
password, and now you have 'read only' / display access.

On later versions of the GSP, the secure console web access software was
included and you can open a browser window, direct it to https://ipaddresshere/
and it will open a secure web console session, without having to use a terminal
emulator.

WARNING: This access will allow (with another command) the transfer of the
system console, including *ALL* functions, to a remote session. This includes
ctrl-B GSP and ctrl-A MPE/iX console functions. I *strongly* suggest you use an
IP address behind your firewall that *is not* mapped by name in your DNS tables.
The ctrl-B GSP functions include the ability to halt processing, reboot the
machine and even power cycle the box. With another command (that I will not
publish here, email if you want specific instructions) you can get 'write'
access and become the active controlling console session.
