EMP Console Requirements
(continued)
Client Configuration: EMP Console supports all COM ports on the client system,
along with any Windows NT/95 compatible modem.
Server Configuration: EMP Console requires the server’s COM2 port to be
connected to an external modem or directly connected to a serial cable.
Direct Connect Configuration: A null modem serial cable is needed. Connect one
end of the cable to the COM2 port of server and the other to a port on the client
machine.
Modem Configuration: On the client, EMP Console uses the Windows Application
Program Interface (API) to determine if a modem is connected and available. The
EMP Console does not configure the modem; it should be preconfigured through
Windows.
For modem support, the server must use a Hayes compatible modem that supports
a baud rate of 19.2k. The modem must be on the Windows 95 or NT Hardware
Compatibility List provided by Micron. The server modem must be set in auto-
answer mode for EMP Console to be able to connect to it.
Setting up the Server for the
EMP
To use the EMP, you must configure the server’s BIOS with specific settings.
These settings are found in two submenus of the BIOS Server menu, the System
Management Submenu and the Console Redirection Submenu. The BIOS settings
section, found earlier in this document, shows all the available options. This
section focuses on the settings that must be configured in order to use the EMP.
System Management Submenu
All EMP related settings occur in the Server main menu. Change only the items
highlighted below; all other default settings should remain the same.
EMP Password Switch and EMP Password: Anytime an attempt to initiate a
connection is made, a prompt for the user password appears. If no EMP password
is setup, then anyone can access the EMP by clicking OK. In the EMP Password
area of the Server menu, the EMP Password Switch option must be set to enable.
Then type in a password of up to eight alphanumeric characters. If a beep is heard,
the password was accepted.
EMP Access Modes: Select Disabled, Pre-boot or Always Active, depending on the
type of EMP access needed. The tables above show what is available with a given
setting.
EMP Restricted Mode Access: Set Restricted Mode to either enabled or disabled
as needed. If in enabled mode, this means that EMP Console’s server control
options, Power off and Reset, are unavailable, except power on. In disabled mode,
these same server control options are available.
