Chapter Four Configuration Software and Utilities
Server Control Operations
Three server control operations are available from the menu or toolbar in EMP
Console: remote server connection, powering the server on and off, and resetting
the server. The server console mode can also be switched between EMP active
and BIOS redirect modes through post-power-up and reset options.
Connect
When [Re]Connect is selected from the Connect menu, the Connect dialog screen
is displayed. This dialog allows you to connect to a server. If the client machine is
already connected to a server, initiating connection generates a warning message.
The message indicates that the existing connection will be terminated if you
continue trying to initiate the new connection. You are prompted to enter the EMP
password whenever a connection is attempted.
Connect Dialog Screen
Options available in the dialog are:
q Line Selection - you can specify whether to use a direct connection or dial-
up modem connection to the server.
¾ Dial-up - connects to a selected server with a modem.
¾ Direct connect (Serial Line) - connects to the selected server directly
using a null modem serial cable.
q Server - a server name can be selected from the dropdown list of available
servers. A server must be selected when the line selection is Dial-up.
q Serial Line - These options are enabled when the line selection is set to
Direct connect (Serial Line).
¾ Baud Rate - must be 19200 for EMP to connect properly.
¾ COM Port No. - set the COM Port number to the port that the null
modem serial cable is connected.
